Same old story of greed & lack of human compassion to those with so little to their name. In the end the old bastard died just as everyone does, and in the end the estate, while beautiful, is lost from those who worked the land & treasured it as home. We all hope for justice for those who suffer, and I too wish that, altho I am not really a religious person because justice seems so lacking here on earth, and no proof of anything else, much as we yearn for that ! Thanks for your video, it's so necessary to learn the truths of what happened, and try to make things better for future where possible !
Bernadette Marks is this accessible by car? Coming in from Letterkenny and would like to visit some of the sites. Some of them are on the opposite side of Lake to gartan outdoor centre too are they?
From Letterkenny take the road to Fintown, past the Village take the road to the right I think it is signposted Airport, about ten or twelve miles from there you will come to a small Village across the bridge turn right again about a mile on that road at both sides you will find the House, most are accessible from the road, some are on the roadside, Its not near Gartan its in the Genveigh National Park, area,

When the narrator mentions McIIlhenry, was she referring to the McIlhenry who created the Tabasco sauce empire?
Are the ruins of these cottages where the tenants were evicted easily accessible and where?
Yes most of them are near the roadside
