Statistics on recipients of social welfare schemes are collated by county, and it is not possible to break down those statistics further by location.

The number of persons in receipt of fuel allowance in County Dublin for 2023 and 2024 is shown below.  These figures are as of 31 December of each year.  Note that these figures refer to the number of individual persons in receipt of fuel allowance, rather than the number of households.  However, only one Fuel Allowance payment can be made to a household.

- 2023 2024
Recipients 87,484 88,299
