#9262016-07-21 18:17I have always suspected that the "Famine" was the result of ineptitude - or even genocidal intent - on the part of our colonial masters. Interestingly enough, a standard, scholarly work on this grim period of our history, published 4 decades ago, is entitled "The Great Hunger" by Cecil Woodham-Smith. |

#9272016-07-21 18:23For too long it has been the British version of history and the truth about what happened has been swept under the carpet! |

#9282016-07-24 18:38There was enough food in Ireland to feed the population of Ireland. The food was shipped out of the country under armed guard to be sold for profit. Purposely starving a whole country is murder, not "famine." |

#9292016-07-24 22:36To get people talking about about what really happened in Ireland in 1845. |

#931 Re:2016-07-27 19:42This is utter nonsense. Of course it was a famine! |

#932 Re:2016-07-27 19:43Really? Great Britain didn't exist 800 years ago. Read a book. |

#933 Re:2016-07-27 19:49Don't be so f**king st*pid. Do you seriously think you can confescate someone else's property and redestribute it? It wasn't the fault of the larger, more prosperous farmers of Ireland that peasant bred like rabbits and relied on potatoes. |
Guest |
#9342016-07-29 02:22 Glad to sign. Why? Because the truth these days, can and does depend on who teaches, edits or sanitises the truth rather than those telling and passing down the generations what really happened to their own. |
Guest |
#9372016-07-31 11:52Because it is true, the Irish people are not the only race that British imperialsm tried to wipe out, but we were the first. It's terrible that since we have achieved 'partial' independence our government has helped the British sides version our our sad but proud history. |

#9382016-08-03 17:04Because the truth should be told not a fabrication of the facts.... Irish slavery existed.. there was no famine just food been taken out of the country.. yes there was a blight that caused the spuds to rot... But food was plentiful... Just not for the poor |
Guest |
#9392016-08-04 01:46The truth needs to be told, the atrocities from England need to be let known. |

#9412016-08-17 00:15I am a descendant of an orphan girl and knew only about the famine. I would like this story confirmed. |
Guest |
#9432016-08-19 23:06Because since I was old enough to understand the stories I was told I knew it wasn't a famine..... |
Guest |
#9442016-08-20 13:58Because English people need to know that Irish racism is not acceptable in 2016 and she needs to be fired!!!!!! |
Guest |
#9482016-08-20 18:56Because it's time the truth was out there, there was no famine the government just stood back and watched as hole communitys, family's and friends all died at the way side while the British government ordered their troops to gather and collect the nutritional food for themselves knowing what was happening in Ireland |
Guest |
#9492016-08-20 23:59I believe that this person needs to get her facts about the famine straight and not make stupid mistakes! |

#9502016-08-21 00:01My DNA shows me to be around 75% Irish. I can trace family back to Ireland. |
