#3812014-06-08 19:51After all these years we need to admit to the truth. What happened in Ireland was not a famine but The Great Hunger. A deliberate attempt to annihilate the Irish people by the English. It was an attempted Genocide. LET'S CALL A SPADE A SPADE AND TELL THE WHOLE TRUTH AT LAST! |

#3822014-06-08 20:26History should never be re written in order to salve the conscience of the guilty.The truth should be told in honour of the families who suffered. |

#3832014-06-09 00:08My great-grandfather left County Cork so that there would be one less mouth to feed. He went to London, married, and then came to the US, where he faced hatred and discrimination. |

#3852014-06-09 09:25Yes The famine was used to exterminate people, the Crown gave more money to the building of a horse racing course in Ireland than famine relief. Today the mass emigration from here is often used to justify inward emigration. Our people did not emigrate to take advantage of a social welfare system, they emigrated to work and help those left behind to survive.This is also the case today our emigrent's emigrate to work not draw welfare. |

#3862014-06-09 12:41It's about time. It seems that every other ethnic group have receive restitution of for the wrongs of the past. It's high time we Irish take up the fight! |

#3872014-06-09 13:35I remember History 'A' Levels and Irish history was skimmed over with the usual soundbites and (what I've now come to see as) lies. And this was in a Christian Brother school. What a disgrace. |

#3902014-06-11 11:47In memory of my Great Great Great Grandmother Dorinda Saltry who came to Australia as an Irish famine orphan on the "Lady Kennaway" in 1848 aged 15, alone after she lost all of her family. She managed to have 9 children in Melbourne before she died at the young age of 34 years. |

#3912014-06-11 18:48This is a travesty. It is clear that our history texts continue to ignore unpleasant truths in favor of the victor. Shall we set the record straight then? |

and I have a Campbell ancestor, one Andrew Campbell born in Ireland, not sure when precisely, left there for America. Can't help wondering when exactly and if it was at all related to this or what other atrocity? |

#3932014-06-12 11:10The great hunger and the slave trade and the church abuse are important parts of our history that need to be told in schools and understood so that the true history of Ireland can be written. Only then can the Irish regain true dignity and the long awaited healing begin. |
