The exact information requested by the Deputy is not available. The Quarterly National Household Survey (QNHS) is the official source of estimates of unemployment in the State. Estimates of unemployment are produced by NUTS3 Region. Due to methodology and sample size it is not possible to produce reliable estimates from the QNHS for Dublin postal districts. The latest figures available from the QNHS are for Quarter 3 of 2014.
The unemployment rate for 15-24 year olds (youth unemployment rate) in the Dublin NUTS3 region in Quarter 3 2014 is 20.3%.
