Both Fish Assist and Jobseeker’s for Professional Artists are administered under the Jobseeker’s Allowance scheme. As such, county breakdowns are not separately available for these forms of Jobseeker’s Allowance. The table below details the number of recipients of Jobseeker’s Allowance for county Clare in each of the years requested. These numbers are inclusive of any recipients of Fish Assist or Jobseeker’s for Professional Artists.
