@marianmurphy4625 maybe because it wasn't a famine but a genocide? Abundance of food.. The owners of the book publishers are who are hiding the history from the students to avoid repercussions. During the height of the troubles, one of our ministers in an attempt to quell rising anger and to appease the parliament re issued history books with chapters removed and fairytale paragraphs.. Thankfully, generations already knew . All native Catholics were forced to move to Connaught, where the land was barren and filled with rocks,with little hope of survival. That is what you are calling country folk..The "Irish" in the cities living off the fish ? Where English landlords, or Scottish planters, living if the produce of the natives, loving in their evicted homes ..The natives farmed the land ,they took the produce and sold it..
