This book examines the provision of poor relief in Ireland from the
immediate aftermath of the Famine in the mid-nineteenth century to
the onset of the Great War in 1914, by which time the Poor Law had
been replaced by a range of other policy measures such as the
old-age pension and national insurance. The study establishes an
empirical basis for studying poor relief in this period, analysing
over time the provision of indoor and outdoor relief and
expenditure levels, and charts regional variations in the provision
of poor relief. The author goes on to examine a number of issues
that highlight political and social class struggles in relation to
the provision of poor relief and also considers in fascinating
detail the broader role of the Poor Law and the Boards of Guardians
within local communities.
