Bhí cuid mhór daoine ag fághail bháis leis an ocras agus bhí daoine eile ag dul ar shiubhail go tíorthaibh eile le biadh a fhághail daobhtha féin. Chuaidh cuid de na daoine go Doire fá choinne mála mine agus char leag siad síos na mála mine go rabh siad i Leitir Ceanainn agus rinne siad bráchán annsin agus sin ar ith siad go rabh siad sa bhaile ar an Ghleann.
