- Ned knew several people who remembered the famine. He said that forty or fifty people had died around Shabogh of hunger. He could not understand how they had died, he declared, because even though the potatoes blackened he had heard the old people say that there was plenty of cattle especially sheep in the country.
Con-AcresA Mr. Carr resided in Annaghs, he stated, at the time of the famine. He divided up a large part of his estate among landless people. The Rosbercon people got a number of plots. This Mr Carr afterwards went to Australia - "or, somewhere."
