A really sad but worthwhile experience.

We saw an ad for this exhibition which is on the top floor of the Saint Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre. If consists of a number of large photographs and information posters about the 19th century potato famine - a terrible era in Irish history involving mass hunger, disease and death. All of this going on under the noses of the British government which hardly seemed to care. There was also a very good documentary playing every fifteen minutes. All in all it was a very emotional experience that was well worth a visit. This exhibition deserves to be permanent. Lest we forget!
