Join Wellington Irish on the Third Sunday in May, for Lá Cuimhneacháin Náisiúnta an Ghorta Mhóir | National Famine Commemoration Day.
We'll gather from 3pm to share stories and reflect.
Traditional music with Tunes at the Ditch starts at 4pm.

'No other event in our history can be likened to the Great Famine, either for its immediate, tragic impact, or its legacy of emigration, cultural loss and decline of the Irish language. The population of Ireland, which was close to 8.5 million in 1845, fell to 6.6 million by 1851.' https://www.irishfamine.ie/
