The Irish Genocide 1845-52. A visual of the poem ‘Crown of Thorns’ of a deceased mother with her 3 children, previously posted. “Another wholesale eviction doubled the number of all but naked paupers, they pass through the same ordeal of wandering from house to house, or burrowing in bogs or ditches, till broken down by exposure to the elements, they sought the workhouse, or died by the roadside, with grass in their mouths, with which they vainly endeavoured to satisfy the cravings of hunger.” From The Truth Behind The Irish Famine” available 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.
