Carrickmacross Workhouse is a restored Union Workhouse dating from 1842.
The workhouse has been beautifully restored to a modern building with great attention to the architecture and features of the building that make it so special.
The primary aim of the Workhouse is to operate as a one-stop shop for various community groups and agencies operating in the area, to allow them to integrate together to offer services such as, information provision, training, and employment opportunities to our community.
