    3. The district was thickly populated before the Famine but after it many emigrated to America. Ballyshannon was one of the lucky places in Ireland where the Famine was not very serious. The people did not die in great numbers.

  2. The Famine

    Share Share Post
    During the short time this district had no supplies the people would have suffered terribly only for a man who lived on the Bundoran road near Finner. This man had plenty of Indian meal and he distributed it among the people. This man’s name is now forgotten but he was a protestant.
