A scene from the Irish Genocide 1845-52. A young man passes a starving woman and her three children by the roadside. Poem by John Mulvihill from the book The Truth Behind The Irish Famine. 72 Paintings and 400 eyewitness quotes in the book. Signed copies here: www.jerrymulvihill.com
The Irish Genocide 1845-52. The public works system of relief consisted of building roads, walls and bridges for a salary of 8–10 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 even worse the intense labour did nothing to advance the country with useable structures. From The Truth Behind The Irish Famine. 72 Paintings, 400 eyewitness quotes. Signed copies here: www.jerrymulvihill.com
#OTD IN 1816 – BIRTH OF PAINTER, SIR FREDERICK BURTON, IN COROFIN, CO CLARE.
An evicted Village during the Irish Genocide 1845-52. It has been estimated that, excluding peaceable surrenders, well over a quarter of a million people were evicted between 1845 and 1854. The total number of people who had to leave their holdings in this period is projected to be around half a million and 200,000 small holdings were obliterated. Taken from The Truth Behind The Irish Famine. 72 paintings, 400 eyewitness quotes. Signed copies here: www.jerrymulvihill.com

An observation by a German travel writer during the Genocide 1845-52. Only two classes of people exist here, the rich and the poor. The aristocracy have their manors in the countryside. And the rest of the island is teaming with half naked, starved creatures. The Truth Behind The Irish Famine sold here: www.jerrymulvihill.com
