Ireland 1849 | Sidney Osborne, “Roofless gables meet your eye on every side; one ceases to wonder why the workhouses are so full, when there is this evidence of the fact that no other home is left to so many thousands.” From 'The Truth Behind The Irish Famine'. 72 paintings and 472 eyewitness quotes. www.jerrymulvihill.com
Ireland 1845-52 | The public works consisted of building roads, walls and bridges for a salary of 8 pence per day. This strenuous work program was introduced at a time when the people were starving and weak. The salary was not sufficient for the people to regain their health or feed their families. To make matters worse the intense labour did little to advance the country with useable structures. From the Book: The Truth Behind The Irish Famine: Signed copies at www.jerrymulvihill.com

Ireland 1849 | Sidney Osborne, English travel writer. “Seventy houses were pulled down, under the orders of the agent of the property. The people had for some days to crowd on the neighbouring chapel floor, and by the sides of the ditches, for the neighbours had orders not to take them in: it is fair to state the whole of this mass of tenantry had been created by a middleman, whose lease was now out. Taken from The Truth Behind The Irish Famine, signed copies only at www.jerrymulvihill.com
#OTD in 1941 – Death of painter, Sir John Lavery, in Kilkenny. Best known for his portraits, Belfast-born Lavery attended the Haldane Academy in Glasgow, Scotland, in the 1870s and the Académie Julian in Paris in the early 1880s.
