The Black Death
The Black Death,
also known as
the plague,
came to both
Ireland and
England. It
seemed to be
at its peak
in 1348 and
reported as
been carried
by rats on the
ships trading
to and from
the English,
French and Irish
ports. The symptoms
were boils,
abscesses, eruptions
on the legs
and or in the
armpits, the
vomiting of
blood as well
as other symptoms.
This plague
was very contagious
and even those
touching the
dead or sick
became infected.
Its largest
impact was on
those living
in cities, villages
and towns as
constant contact
took place with
the population
masses. Those
living in the
bogs, woods
and the general
countryside
were less affected.......................
Oliver Cromwell
Oliver Cromwell
arrived in Ireland
in 1649 with
a vast army
to stop the
so called rebellion.
Cromwell started
in the north
first where
he massacred
thousands of
men, women and
children ……..………………………………………………
During the Cromwell
years records
state that over
500,000 Irish
people were
murdered, to
include women
and children.
Many thousands
were sold as
slaves and taken
to the Caribbean
to work on the
plantations.
Many more thousands
were forced
from their homes
and transported
to Connaught
and Clare's
baron land……………………………….
a law was passed
in 1653 which
meant the Irish
would be divided
into three classes
and assigned
to parts of
Ireland to work
on the land,
now mainly in
the hands of
English officers
and their troops.
Two areas in
Ireland were
for the Irish
and the remainder
of Ireland would
be for the English
officers and
their troops.
The Irish were
told they had
to move to these
areas or face
death. Many
Irish were physically
escorted and
many Irish were
sent abroad.
Over 44,000
names were recorded
on certificates
of transplantation
by the 1st may

The Famine
the potato blight,
arrived in Ireland
in 1845 to an
approximate
population of
8 million. By
the end of the
famine various
reports suggest
the population
was reduced
to around 4
to 5 million
………………………
Unlike the Governments
of Europe, who
avoided millions
of deaths through
starvation,
fever and disease,
England continued
to export produce
from Ireland,
such as the
wheat and corn
crops, beef,
butter and milk
leaving the
Irish population
to starve. English
records show
there was no
shortage of
food in Ireland
during the Famine
period. The
export of over
75% Irish farm
products was
enforced by
the …………………..
Anyone resisting
was either evicted
or executed…………………
Many millions
died of starvation,
disease and
fever and others
migrated to
America and
other continents
on ships. Illnesses
caught at sea
such as typhus,
scurvy etc.,
is said to have
taken more Irish
lives than the
people taken
on the slave
ships of the
1700s. The ships
who took the
Irish to other
continents are
now known as
the 'Famine
Ships' and or
the 'Coffin
Ships', as many
died before
reaching their
destinations………………………………………….
The Irish were
desperate and
thousands of
Irish survived
through a process
of bleeding
their livestock,
in particular
the cows…………………..
The blood from
the livestock
was either boiled
or fried and
used as food………………………….The
practice of
bleeding was
widespread and
'professional
bleeders' established
themselves and
travelled the
countryside.
This 'food'
continues today
and is known
as Black Pudding…………………………………………..
The Tenant Right
League
In 1850 the
Tenant Right
League was formed
to secure a
fair rent payable
by the Irish
tenants and
secure the tenants
from violent
and unjustified
evictions by
landlords. These
evictions by
landlords were
widespread and
in many cases
the violence
resulted in
the deaths of
Irish tenants
………………………………….The
Irish harvest
of 1879 was
the worst since
the famine and
between 1875
and 1881 over
10,000 cruel
and violent
evictions took
place due to
lack of money
from the crops
to pay landlord
rents. ……………………………….
The Coolgreany
Evictions of
1887
Not all rents
were reduced
by twenty percent
and the landlord
evictions continued
until at least
1887 and beyond.
One of the largest
evictions and
arguably the
last large eviction
took place in
Coolgreany in
1887. The Coolgreany
evictions of
1887, as with
other evictions
throughout Ireland,
were violent.
Some lost their
lives, some
were badly beaten,
widows and the
bed ridden were
dragged from
their homes.
Some tenants
took refuge
with other families,
some just left
and some went
to the temporary
huts which had
been put up
for the evicted
tenants. However,
many landlords
had these huts
removed leaving
evicted families
homeless, with
no food or money
or any means
of making money
and with only
their possessions
up to the value
of 5.00……………………………………
The Black and
Tans
…………..a
'select force'
known as the
Black and Tans
to Ireland.
It is reported
most of these
men were recruited
from the prisons
in England and
led by army
officers………….The
first unit arrived
in Ireland in
March 1920.
Their daily
wage was ten
shillings and
in addition
they received
one pound for
every Irish
person they
killed……………………………….The
Black and Tans
had taken things
into their own
hands and were
running a mock
in Ireland.
………………………………..
When the Second
World War broke
out his policy
was that Ireland
should not be
used as a base
of operations.
De Valera negotiated
this with representatives
in England who
agreed and the
defense terms
of the treaty
were cancelled
thus giving
Ireland the
full control
over her own
ports………………………….
The link with
England was
finally cut
in 1949 when
Ireland became
a Republic.
The sovereignty
of the Free
State of Ireland
was known as
Eire under de
Valera's constitution
of 1937. Northern
Ireland, consisting
of six counties
remained part
of England.
