My main aim is to write about the people and their stories, their memories – what you won’t find in the history books. So I am looking to make contact with people who may have heard their relatives/neighbours talk about those hard times in our area. The time frame is between 1850 to the early 1920s. The workhouse was on the site of the Plunkett Home.
