‘In Memory of My Mother’
#OTD in 1967 – 'Seven Drunken Nights' by The Dubliners enters the UK top ten.
Ireland 1846 | The Duke of Cambridge “Rotten potatoes and sea-weed, or even grass, properly mixed, afforded a very wholesome and nutritious food. All knew that Irishmen could live upon anything and there was plenty grass in the field though the potato crop should fail.” 'The Truth Behind The Irish Famine' by Jerry Mulvihill. 72 paintings and 472 eyewitness quotes. www.jerrymulvihill.com
Ireland 1847 | Aseanth Nicholson. “The government sent a supply (seeds) around the coast, the delighted people looked up with hope, then, to their sad disappointment, this expected gift was offered at a price considerably higher than the market one, and we saw the ships sailing away, without leaving its contents; for not one was able to purchase a pound. And we have since been told, that the ‘lazy dogs’ were offered seed, but refused, not willing to take the trouble to sow it.” The Truth Behind The Irish Famine' 72 paintings and 472 eyewitness quotes. www.jerrymulvihill.com
Ireland 1845-52 | Thomas Gallagher. “Others who witnessed the stealing of sheep refused to identify the culprits on the grounds that the country had reached the point where it was impossible for the poor to obey the law and remain alive too.” Thomas Gallagher. Taken from ‘The Truth Behind The Irish Famine, 100 Images, 474 eyewitness quotes. signed copies here: www.jerrymulvihill.com
