<strong>Clifden</strong> <strong>Poor</strong> <strong>Law</strong> <strong>Union</strong><br />
A year after the closure it is recorded in the Board of Health & Public Assistance: Hospital &<br />
Dispensary Committee minutes that Dr Casey reported ‘… that <strong>Clifden</strong> Workhouse Buildings<br />
are gradually disappearing. The Dispensary has been completely destroyed, and he<br />
removed to a private house whatever drugs etc, were left …‟ (GC6/1, 9 December, 1922, p7).<br />
Some years later, under a lease of 10 th August 1927, part of the lands, comprising of 4 acres,<br />
3 roods & 17 perches, were conveyed for 99 years to the Irish Sailors' & Solders' Land Trust<br />
(51 Upper Mount Street, Dublin 2) at a rent of £6 per annum. Six cottages were erected by<br />
the Trust for ex-soldiers and sailors. Former workhouse lands, still held by local authorities<br />
became vested in the Western Health Board on 1 st April 1971, pursuant to Section 38 of the<br />
Health Act, 1970.<br />
