Reducing unemployment beyond emigration

Summary

Mitchell asked whether emigration explained the fall in registered unemployment and what other measures the Government had to reduce actual unemployment; the Chair ruled it a different matter.

Jim Mitchell Mr. Mitchell Fine Gael

Does the Minister agree that the emigration figure of 11,000 he mentioned is uncomfortably close to the reputed reduction in the registered unemployed? Have the Government any plans other than emigration to reduce the real unemployment figure?

That is certainly raising a different matter.
