The exact information requested by the Deputy is not available.
The Live Register series gives a monthly breakdown of the number of people claiming Jobseeker's Benefit, Jobseeker's Allowance and other registrants as registered with the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection (DEASP).
The most recent Live Register figures available are for May 2018.
Table 1 shows the number of persons on Live Register by County and local DEASP office of registration for May 2018. This information is also available online on the CSO Statbank (Series code LRM07). See the following link to CSO website.
Table 2 shows the number of casual and part-time workers on the Live Register classified by social welfare scheme for May 2018.
It should be noted that the Live Register is not a definitive measure of unemployment as it includes part-time workers, and seasonal and casual workers entitled to Jobseeker's Benefit or Allowance.
