Was there a workhouse in enniscorthy in the great famine?

Yes, there was a workhouse in Enniscorthy during the Great Famine. Established in 1840, the workhouse served as a response to the dire poverty and starvation caused by the famine, providing shelter and food for the destitute. Like many workhouses in Ireland, it was often overcrowded and faced significant challenges in caring for the increasing number of impoverished individuals seeking assistance.
