It is most unfortunate that nearly all 19th century minute books have not survived, and that no records are thought to exist of Mitchelstown Union prior to its amalgamation with Fermoy in 1916. The minute books present, however, do document the provision of poor relief and rural dispensary services in the first quarter of the twentieth century, and are an important record, for instance, of the care of orphaned and boarded-out children, deserted families, and the disabled and mentally ill. The amalgamation of Mitchelstown Union, including districts from Co Limerick, with Fermoy Union was a significant late development in the Poor Law history of south Munster. The minutes also reflect national political developments and shed some light on topics such as the Great War and the Influenza epidemics of 1919. The only other record present, a receipts and payments book (BG/89/CF/1: 1918-25), provides some useful background information on the financial operations of the union in a period also well documented in the surviving minutes. Minute books present: Mar 1870 - Mar 1871; Apr-May 1899; Dec 1905 - Dec 1906; Jan 1907- Mar 1912; Apr 1916 - Mar 1917; May 1918 - Apr 1924 Méid14 vols.
