Vol. 59 No. 8

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Population of the Employment Office Areas.

asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will state the total population in each of the local employment office areas as existing on the 6th October, 1935.

The information asked for is not available inasmuch as there are no such defined areas as local employment office areas.

Will the Minister say on what basis persons are supposed to register at any particular employment office?

I am afraid I do not follow that question.

The Minister publishes statistics regularly for a certain number of employment office areas indicating the number of persons registered there as unemployed and the number of persons who are paid unemployment assistance. Will the Minister say if persons living in a particular area are required to register in one employment office area more than another?

Generally speaking, yes, but the boundaries are not very clearly defined.
