    Share Share Post
    Several people died with the famine. There were many more in the district before the famine. There are some old houses in Bothar Bó Finne. The potatoes decayed in the ground and in pits. The people got seed potatoes from America. The people used eat whole meal and grass. They used build roads, and they were called the public works. There was a road built from Carrigtwohill bridge to Tattons bridge, and there was another road from Pigeonhill to Ballincurrig. There were three million people died. There were several diseases after the famine.
