Roscommon unemployment figures
The Minister gave live-register totals of 977 in 1977 and 1,431 in 1982. He said the figures covered people registered at local employment offices in the Roscommon area, not necessarily every unemployed person living in the county.
asked the Taoiseach the number of people out of work in County Roscommon on 1 September 1977 and 1982.

Do the figures given cover the people from Roscommon who are registered as unemployed in Athlone, Ballinasloe and Carrick-on-Shannon?

There are people who live in Roscommon but are registered in these other exchanges. The figures I asked for are those for people unemployed in County Roscommon.
