Folklore .Famine.
When the famine was in Ireland the people had nothing to eat and they died with the hunger and they were buried in big piles and covered up.When the potatoes failed the people had to live on turnips and other root crops.
When people would have nothing to eat they went to another farmyard and took food out of it and the man of the farm was not able to prevent them .Famine.
