just received my fathers birth certificate and find he was born in Kilmallock workhouse in August 1920.  but I believe the workhouse was requisitioned by the British army in the same year Anyone have any information on the workhouse or it's records?  my 'googling has not been very successful.

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.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
