- Pupils name: Pádraig Ó Roibeárd, Ballymalis
Told by Frank Roberts, Ballymalis, Age 64 years.In this neighbourhood the potatoes were fit to dig before the famine came. Then a black colour came on them and they rotted. Some people killed their cows, horses and sheep and ate them. Other people who had no cows stole them and ate them. They also ate nettles and berries. During the famine a great man people died in Killarney. They were buried without coffins in a hill. That hill is called Martyrs hill ever since.
