In LIMERICK RESOURCES (top of Limerick board) there's a post for Schools, Workhouses and Institutions with a link to Workhouses (including Kilmallock)-
http://users.ox.ac.uk/~peter/workhouse/
Left side of page click 'workhouse locations', then 'Irish Poor Law Unions', then 'Co.Limerick' and finally 'Kilmallock.'
The site gives the history of the workhouse, has maps and photographs and a link to Archives information.
