The Irish Famine? There was no Famine! Food was plentiful. Tons of grain and meat were being exported while the Irish peasantry lay starving on the roadsides. It was genocide, indifference, and arrogance. The English House of Commons felt it might at last rid the absentee landlords of the wretched Irish cottiers who lived in their tiny hovels trying to eke out a living and that the land could now be used for pasture.
Successive Irish governments have spoken of this tragedy as a famine. Not only that, the Department of Education still teach Irish students about this so-called famine. When will they ever get the courage to call it what it really was. How can those who know better, ever regard this dark chapter in our history, as anything other than a white-wash perpetrated by our own Government?
