Portumna Workhouse & Castle

27th Apr 2026

6th Class visited Portumna last week and spent a facinating time in the Workhouse and Castle.  

Frances, our massively entertaining and knowledgable guide, shared stories about the hardships of the 1800s and early 1900s that led people to enter and the conditions once they entered.
