Thanks Martin, the film-maker, Pat Collins of Harvest Films made the recent award-winning film 'That they may face' which is also well worth watching if you've not already seen....

It resonates because it shows somebody recognized the problem and cared at a human level and out of generosity tried to do what they could to help.

Reply to Hands to Heal; I asked that of a college professor in a Culture awareness study program. Most of our work focused on Black, Jewish, and American Indian. I learned the Irish didn’t talk about the injustices done to them. There has never been any talk of Reparations!

Why is there never any mention of the OVERLORDS NEVER BEING HELD TO ACCOUNT FOR STOPPING ANY FISHING AND OTHER FARMING for people to feed and care for themselves!!!

We had a workhouse in my town .... We were always afraid to go near it because, as kids, we thought there was still disease in it.

My Grandparents and my Great Grandparents came to Canada. I'm not sure what year. I am not even sure what circumstances brought them here. They came from the North of Ireland. County Tyrone.

Shocking reminder of how English (not British!) aristocratic landowners treated Wales, Ireland and Scotland. Ireland fought back, as did Scotland. Wales didn't, but the Welsh still have no love for the English. Ireland's independence was always hampered by religious domination, yet there could never have been any excuse for the English landowners' inhuman attitude. Sadly, despite lip-service by English politicians, our Celtic nations are still considered to be inferior, if not dispensible.

By the same token they treated English people exactly the same, look up the Petersfield massacre, and in my opinion the same thugs are still in Whitehall and Buckingham Palace, the corrupt establishment

The lack of care for the people is undeniable. The fact that food was sold for profit at the expense of people dieing and doing the work. Calling soup kitchens a blessing when education and dignified reapect to the people whose land and communities that were cleared for profits of the already sick with arrogance.

19:15 the story of Chactaw Indians sending money and grain to the Irish is telling of the natural truth of human nature.

My Ggandmother born in 1861 told me as a child that immigrants always wrote back that America was awful because those left in Ireland wanted their families in America $ to pay for their passage over.

In der Schule haben wir von dem Wort „Famine“ nichts gehört, ich kenne es aus dem Lied „The Fields of Athenry“. Ebenso nie etwas gehört von „Holodomor“. Kennst du das Wort? Schau nach Holodomor. We didn't hear anything about the word "Famine" at school (at the time in GDR), I know it from the song "The Fields of Athenry." Also, never heard of "Holodomor". Do you know the word? Look for Holodomor. Beides sind Genocide mit über 5 Million Menschen, die verhungerten. Both are genocide with over 5 million people who starved to death. 💔

The Ottoman Empire of Turkey were well off and known for generosity, they didn't even try to extend some help to alleviate the Irish famine?

I think it a shame that the richest empire in the world at that time did virtually nothing but look how we treated our own English citizens in those times, I remember my father telling me a true account of an Indian Maharaja who when he visited London was astounded at the children running around the streets in rags and bare feet

Considering the story it seems the deaths from starvation and disease had to be far more.
