Dunshaughlin Poor Law Union - 29.11.1841- Co-clergy
Dunshaughlin Poor Law Union - 29.11.1841- Co-clergy
The majority of paupers in the house were Roman Catholics and had a chaplain to look after their spiritual welfare. There were only two Protestants, not from the Union, in the house. The salary of a Protestant chaplain for only two people was considered an unnecessary expense. The Guardians suggested sending the two to religious services in Dunshaughlin. The Commissioners rejected this suggestion and instructed the Guardians to employ the chaplain until there was no Protestant inmate remaining in the house.

A weekly return to the Poor Law Commission for December 1846 showed that 435 inmates were living in the workhouse, 35 more than the 400 person capacity.

They express concern that the wives and children of men in employment are in the workhouse when their earnings could support them.
