Ireland Distress in Castlerea and Boyle Workhouse Scenes
A detailed account from the Ireland relief effort by the Society of Friends during William Forster's travel describes widespread famine in Castlerea and surrounding districts. It notes overcrowded poor houses, measles and fever risk, and starving families living in cottages with scant food, begging for admission, and the formation of a relief subscription led by J. G. Wills and donors like Lord O’Connor Don. The report covers interviews with local gentry, the state of Castlerea and Boyle workhouses, and the dire moral will to distribute aid before starvation spreads further.
