Work houses were set up to remove the diseased and destitute from the landed estates. They weren't called 'Work' houses for nothing. Check out their food rations, check out why so many died, check out their treatment. Orphans were nothing more than human fodder to be exported to the colonies for the slave trade Social Welfare? no, more like a holding pen. One day the real truth will be exposed, it is the least that these victims deserve

Although I appreciate Mrs Hogan's sincere efforts regarding the Heritage of Birr, it is important to note that the inference that monoculture caused the so called famine without clarifying the reason for the monoculture; dispossession and penal laws reduced the Irish to less than penury. 100's of millions of tons of food was exported to the UK market to buoy up the British Colonial efforts at home and abroad. It was estimated that our agri economy supplied 10% of the British food requirement

Brilliant video, I would love to learn more about it. It's such a shame to see the building crumble as one of the last one of it's kind in Ireland. What is happening about it's restoration or has that now been shelved?
