- During the years 1846 and 1847 there was a great famine here in Ireland owing to the failure of the potatoes. These were the first years of the blight. First the stalks began to decay and then the potatoes rotted in the ground.

Thousands of people were found dead by the roadside and many others went to United states, Canada, England and other countries to escape death from hunger at home.
