The introduction of the workhouse-centred Poor Law system into Ireland on the eve of the Great Famine transformed the provision of poor assistance in the country. Throughout various urban centres, the plethora of charitable societies that had been prominent in the provision of corporate assistance to the poor faced an increasingly uncertain future, fearing that the levying of compulsory poor rates would result in a withdrawal of support from subscribers and donors. This article analyses the impact of the Poor Law system on charitable societies in Dublin city, covering the fifteen-year period between the 1830 Select Committee on the State of the Poor in Ireland to the eve of the Great Famine in 1845. The article outlines how the establishment of the statutory Poor Law system resulted in confusion among the managers of existing welfare institutions and demonstrates that the opening of Poor Law Union workhouses greatly affected charitable societies’ pauper lists and income levels; yet the impact on the many charities that dotted Dublin’s crowded welfare landscape was not uniform.

《自愿的走出与强制的进来》

在大饥荒前夕,以济贫院为中心的济贫法制度引入爱尔兰,改变了该国贫困援助的提供方式。在各个城市中心,大量在向穷人提供企业援助方面表现突出的慈善团体面临着越来越不确定的未来,他们担心征收强制性贫困率会导致订阅者和捐助者的支持减少。本文分析了济贫法制度对都柏林市慈善社会的影响,涵盖了从 1830 年爱尔兰穷人状况特别委员会到 1845 年大饥荒前夕的十五年时间。文章概述了法定济贫法制度的建立如何导致现有福利机构管理人员的困惑,并表明济贫院的开设极大地影响了慈善团体的贫民名单和收入水平;然而,散布在都柏林拥挤的福利景观中的许多慈善机构受到的影响并不统一。
