This book is not "about" the "an Gorta Mór" (Irish Potato Famine), but it's the TRUE horror. I'm a sucker for really emotional horror and this is it. Not to be missed. Fab audio narration, too. #thishousewillfeed #anGortaMór #mariatureaud #booksky #horrorsky #recordedbooks

On July 25, 2021, a memorial was unveiled in Glasgow to honor the victims of the Irish Great Famine. Rejected and discriminated against, the Irish found in Celtic FC, a source of pride, identity, and collective strength. #Celtic #CelticFC #Ireland #AnGortaMor 🍀🇮🇪☘️🕊

The Irish know what's up. They are no strangers to colonization and attempted genocide. 🇮🇪 🇵🇸 ✊

It’s early and cold. But I’m spending today walking the #Liverpool Irish Famine Trail, tracing the footsteps of the 1.3 million people who arrived here during #AnGortaMór
I’ll post much of it here, so join me on the journey.

On this day in 1849, the Doolough Valley death march began, with hundreds of people forced to march nearly twenty kilometres in order for British ‘Poor Law Union’ officials to ‘verify’ that they were eligible to receive food relief. #AnGortaMór

What Made the Irish Famine So Deadly?
The Great Hunger was a modern event, shaped by the belief that the poor are the authors of their own misery and that the market must be obeyed at all costs

Potato blight warning.. We're probably exporting more Irish beef now than was taken from our lands whilst our people were forced to starve. 2026, what's left, we spend between €7 to €11 now for 454g of mince/ground beef. #AnGortaMór #TheGreatHunger #PotatoBlight #PotatoFamine #EconomicFamine

I'll end this here at the bombed out St Lukes Church, home to the official #liverpool #AnGortaMór memorial.

The memorial remembers the millions who died or were forced to flee Ireland. This site honours their memory and acknowledges Liverpool’s role.
