The island was so small that it was a camp itself, just referred to as Ireland. I can understand how that could be missed in a relative brief search.
It was heavily surveilled, controlled and garrisoned with similar abuse and exploitation that Native Americans faced. So the name and presentation is different maybe, but it’s essentially the same.
Later there were further camps called internment camps and prison camps. You’ll find reference to these around the time of the 1798 rebellion.
