The exact information requested by the Deputy is not available.

The Quarterly National Household Survey (QNHS) is the official source of estimates of employment and unemployment in the State and the data also provides information on persons Not in Employment, Education or Training (NEET). Due to methodology and sample size it is not possible to produce reliable estimates below NUTS3 region from the QNHS. The NUTS 3 Dublin region includes Dublin City, Dun Laoghaire- Rathdown, Fingal and South Dublin. The Q3 2015 estimates are the most recent QNHS figures available.

The following table shows the number of persons aged 16-24 years who are classified as being Not in Employment, Education or Training (NEET) by NUTS3 Dublin region in Quarter 3 2015.
