These were Ballina, Belmullet, Ballinrobe, Ballyshannon, Bantry, Boyle, Cahirciveen, Carrick-on-Shannon, Castlebar, Castlereagh, Clifden, Donegal, Galway, Glenties, Kenmare, Kilrush, Listowel, Manorhamilton, Milford, Mohill, Roscommon, Scariff, Skibbereen, Sligo, Swineford, Tralee, Dingle, Tuam, Westport, Athlone, Ennistymon, Gort, Nenagh, Loughrea and New Ross. This list somewhat differs from the one given in the commissioners’ Report, but I quote from that furnished by the association, whose Report was made subsequently, being dated 1st January 1849. [169] See Report of the British Relief Association, pp. 41 and 46. ----- [Sidenote: Total amount of rates raised.] It may not be irrelevant here to state, that the entire of the rates made in all the unions from the first introduction of the Poor Law down to the date of the present Report, have (exclusive of the last rate) amounted to 2,496,412_l._, of which not more than 48,804_l._, or 2 per cent., has been lost—143,046_l._, or 6 per cent., of arrears having been carried into the rates last made. The last-made rates amounted to 1,462,878_l._, which added to the above makes a total of 3,959,290_l._ assessed upon the property of Ireland for the relief of the poor, in course of the ten years since the introduction of the Poor Law, the last three being years of such intense distress as it was perhaps never before the lot of an entire people to be subjected to.
