CLARE ROOTS SOCIETY FAMINE COMMEMORATION





For those, especially our oversea members who cannot attend the unveiling of the Memorial on Sunday, the Clare Champion today with Tim Kelly's thesis from 1971, gives a good understanding of the effects of the Famine in Ennis. More than 2000 unknown  people are buried there having died from fever and hunger between 1845 and 1850.
