Overview

About This Tour

"August 1845, a blight of unusual character was discovered in Dublin's Botanical Gardens. This potato blight was to have a catastrophic effect on a society in which half the population were dependent on the potato for survival. Learn how Ireland's Great Hunger unfolded the lacklustre response by the administration which resulted in the greatest peacetime loss of life in Western Europe since the Black Death."
