…as soon as Aoife saw them out in the lake she struck them with a Druid rod, and put on them the shape of four swans, white and beautiful. And it is what she said: “Out with you, children of the king, your luck is taken away from you for ever; it is sorrowful the story will be to your friends; it is with flocks of birds your cries will be heard for ever.”

During the Great Famine thousands of poor people died in the disease-racked wards of the county fever hospital which stood on this site, perishing in agony of typhus, cholera and other diseases.
When the epidemics abated in 1850 part of the building became an auxiliary workhouse for the Ennis Poor Law Union, the notorious Turnpike Auxiliary where hundreds of paupers eked out an existence. In 1855 the military authorities took possession of the fever hospital which became the headquarters of the Clare Militia.
To the end of the century officers and men who were quartered here served with distinction in many overseas engagements with the British Army.

Continuing our lessons in perspective we have a swan (small/near) and swan boats (large/faraway). And to confuse matters further we put Westport House inside a hayshed.
