  2. Famine Times

    Share Share Post
    One day in the Famine Times a poor man went into the house of Dan Foley, Leamnaguilea, parish of Ballyhar, Co Kerry. In a vessel in the kitchen floor there was a mash prepared for pigs. The poor man went to this vessel and ate some of the mash. Then he went out to the haggard and died.
    This district (Leamnaguilea, parish of Ballyhar, Co Kerry) was thickly populated before the Famine. People still point out the sites of the old dwellings.
