Thank you for the information. It sounds like it was a terrifying place.

It's sad she was in a workhouse.

I know it says "Workhouse" on the death registration, but that must be anachronistic.
Most workhouses were abolished in Ireland in the 1920s, and the only remaining ones - in Dublin - in 1931. The former workhouses were converted into hospitals, or county homes.

So, I would say she actually died in hospital, located in the former workhouse buildings.
