“It seems that the only person who remembered the Famine was Daniel Dunne father of Mrs McKenna.”
It seems that the only person who remembered the Famine was Daniel Dunne father of Mrs McKenna. He was about 16 or 17 years at the time of the Famine.He used to tell his daughter that there was nothing only starvation and in the end free meal was given out in Cloneygowan, a village about 3 miles north of this school. The men used to go for the meal as the women and children were too weak from hunger to travel. The men used to get the meal in what were called "noggins" (tin measures.) Mrs McKenna does not however ever remember him mentioning anyone who died as a result of the Famine.She however remembers him relating that potatoes were very plentiful before the Famine and consequently very cheap. He used to tell about men emptying their loads of potatoes into the ditches when they failed to sell them at the markets in Mountmellick or Portarlington, rather than carry them home.
