Abstract
This thesis examines the role of the Kilkenny, Carlow and Queen’s County Branch of the National Society for Prevention of Cruelty in the committal of children to industrial schools during the period 1927- 1937. In addition, this study addresses the social landscape in Kilkenny and in this regard it documents the role of national and local Catholic social commentary on social issues within the Diocese of Ossory.
