Business Description

The Famine Memorial is a collection of poignant, life-sized statues dedicated to commemorating Ireland's devastating Great Famine of the mid 19th century. These sculptures serve as a solemn reminder of the immense suffering and loss experienced during this period, where approximately 1 million people lost their lives and a million more were forced to emigrate from Ireland. The statues symbolize the starvation and hardship endured by the Irish people, as well as the significant decline in the island's population, which fell by an estimated 20% to 25% due to the famine.
