EXPLANATORY NOTE.

The Unemployment Assistance (Employment Period) (No. 2) Order, 1971, ( S.I. No. 142 of 1971 ) excludes from unemployment assistance during the period from 14 April, 1971 to 16 November, 1971, men who have no dependants and who are resident in non-municipal towns and rural areas with the exception of those resident in houses owned by the local authority of a town having local government. The effect of the present amendment Order is to provide for additional exceptions, viz., men, without dependants, who (i) are aged fifty or over or (ii) are resident on coastal islands. These two classes of men without dependants will thus no longer be excluded from unemployment assistance during the Employment Period.
