- The famine in 1847 was caused by the failure of the potato crop. It appeared that at that time the people lived wholly on potatoes and with starvation they ate turnips and barleysmeal which they ground themselves with rough stones. This naturally brought on diseases which wiped out nearly one-third of the population of this country.
Nothing was done by the Government to relieve the people except the Board of Works made some roads and gave some employment to the people. When the English knew that the potatoes had failed they bough all the corn so the people would die of hunger. The Protestants offered food to them if they attended the Protestant Church but no one did that.
I got this story from Mr. William Davis.
