Scóp agus InneacharSmall pamphlet detailing relief for the poor in Ballycotton following the Great Famine. The text focuses on 'reproductive relief': fishing and other industry in the seaside village. The report refers to the recent efforts of the Society of Friends (Quakers) in providing food relief to the poor, and to efforts to acquire bigger boats and build a lighthouse to better take advantage of fishing in the area. The pamphlet was one of a number of reports produced by the Society of Friends (Quakers) Cork Auxiliary Committee for poor relief during the famine era.
