- 331The FamineThere was a "Stirabout House" in Ballycarney in 1847. The "stirabout" was given in small quantities to the poor people who came for it. It was made of Indian Meal.
One man was said to have built a wall round a heap of turnips and lived on them while they lasted.
Before the potatoes rotted the poor lived on them. Three times a day they were eaten often with salt, sometimes with buttermilk. The better class had oaten cakes and barley cake. They were made from their own corn. I heard of poor people round here gathering herbs and eating them with salt.The public works started and men got work making roads. There was a road - the new line started from Ballycarney to BallindagginPat Breen (71)
