- Many remember 1846-47 Famine. People die in numbers and are buried in large pits - carts go through streets calling "bring out your dead". Potatoes failed and people had to sell grain, butter etc. to pay rent with
thousands died at home. Many died others emigrated after famine. Cholera broke out from eating potatoes only & also because the dead were not properly buried.
