  4. Famine Times

    Share Share Post
    Breis: There was an "official" hospital at that time @ O'Regan's (now), at Ballyhereas[?], Milford, Ráth Luirc. Several died in it. The water cress which the starving people ate caused diarrhoea. Mr. Watson says his mother informed him that in her old home (now occupied by Mr. Thos. Mackessy at Doona (Milford, Ráth Luirc) they had to bar the door against the raiding bands of starving people. (They got as much as the owners of the house could give). Mounds are in Wm. O'Connor's farm, near Mr. Jas. Walsh's, Highmount, Ráth Luirc. Several were supposed to be buried in them during the Famine.
