I signed this petition because I read many years ago Paddy's Lament , by Thomas Gallagher and I know there was an artificial "Famine", actually there was a lot of food in Ireland. Through British Tyranny the food went to England and the Irish Catholics starved because they only had the black potato. The English had laws that the Irish could not fish in the rivers or lakes, they could not hunt on Irish lands. Why? Because the English took our lands and made it their own. The Brits made laws for every aspect of Irish Catholic life. Aspects that only served the British. Ray Brown, M.A.
