FAMINE MEMORIAL

  

 

The Famine statues, in Custom House Quay in the Dublin Docklands, were presented to the City of Dublin in 1997.

 

These statues commemorate the Great Famine of the mid 19th century. During the famine approximately 1 million people died and a million more emigrated from Ireland, causing the island's population to fall by between 20% and 25%.
