Letter from Patrick Carey to Edward O'Dwyer, D.D., 29 November 1915

1 29th November 5, My Lord, I am directed by the Board of
Guardians of above Union to send you, herewith,
copy of a Resolution unanimously adopted by them
at their meeting on the 20th Instant, I am, My Lord,
Your Lordship's Obedient Servant
Clerk of Union. Most Revd Edward Thomas O'Dwyer, DD
The Palace
Limerick.

Patrick Carey (1853-1934) was the Union Clerk for the Killarney Poor Law Board of Guardians. Poor law unions and their workhouses were established by the Poor Law (Ireland) Act, 1838, as a response to widespread poverty, and were each governed by a Board of Guardians. This letter comes from the Killarney Poor Law Board of Guardians Minute Book. In 1916 Thomas Edward O'Dwyer (1842-1917) was serving as the Bishop of Limerick. He took up the position in 1888 and retained it until his death in 1917.
