Description

Over one hundred and sixty years ago Ireland's Great Famine began. Within five years, some two and a half million people had died. Thousands fled to the hated workhouses, hoping desperately for some relief.


Famine in Cork City sheds light on the horrific physical conditions of the inmates in one such workhouse, Cork Workhouse (now St Finbarr's Hospital), and explores the tragic effects of the famine as they unfolded in the city.
