- Research carried out in preparation for the National Famine Commemoration 2013 and the accompanying events held in the former Kilrush Poor Law Union served both to highlight the material remains from the Great Famine period which can still be clearly seen in west Clare, and to draw attention to other remains which may lie hidden or may have completely disappeared. A selection of such remains are highlighted in this short and hurriedly compiled documentary film submitted to the National Famine Commemoration Committee by Clare County Council in October 2012 in support of Kilrush's application to host the event. The film was scripted by Paul O'Brien and Paddy Waldron, narrated by Paddy Waldron, and filmed by Neil Hynes.
While food was aplenty! Never forget! Learn from histkry
As a young boy I remember all too well the bodies of a woman and her child from the famine, being unearthed by builders on the road out to Cappagh. And they weren’t the only ones found may years after those terrible days,
I greatly admire your contribution to local history. We need to remember and to continue to tell the stories.
My god! The list!!
They're all in the comfort of their Maker whereas Vandeleur is in the hands of Satan.
What a horror of Irish history. A land of death amidst such incredible beauty.
tragic times. some of my family ended up being convicted of petty crimes and were sent off here to australia never to be permitted to return home. looks like a nice place.
Many thanks. Lest we forget.
