County Donegal unemployment

Summary

Conaghan sought unemployment figures by employment exchange and asked how Donegal’s unemployment rate compared with the country; Barrett said he would circulate the exchange figures and gave totals of 9,787 in 1982 and 11,147 in 1983, but did not have the percentage.

Hugh Conaghan Mr. Conaghan Fianna Fáil

asked the Taoiseach the number of persons registered as unemployed in each employment exchange in County Donegal at the latest date for which figures are available; and on the corresponding date in 1982.

(Dún Laoghaire): I do not have the percentage. That was not part of the question. The question asked about numbers. On 29 January 1982 the figure was 9,787 and on 28 January 1983 it was 11,147.
