- The great famine was caused by the failure of the crops. The people were so poor that they depended for food on the potatoes. This failure was caused by a blight which came over the land. The potatoes rotted in the ground. The people had no food or no potatoes to sell for money. The corn was sent to places that was rich enough to buy it. The people died in hundreds.
About one million people died in Ireland. The famine broke Daniel O Connell's heart. the government gave the people seed potatoes at a low price through the union. The potatoes were sown in ridges and drills as they are nowadays. The foods they had instead of the potatoes were oat meal and yellow meal. Government relief reached every district. Great sickness followed the hunger. I never heard the people talking of other periods of famine.- Bailitheoir
