   For a few years the Government was not very helpful, but they sent supplies of Indian meal to selected houses in each district, which was called a "Sturabout Station", and the meal was made into porridge, a station was at the house of Mr. Thomas Ruske, Drumacarrow Lodge.
   After 1850, other varities of potatoes were introduced, and given out by the Government at 1/6 per stone.
   Relief works were started and this relieved the people to some extent, under these schemes, the Main Road from Bailieboro'. to Virginia was made.
