Emigration - Stories from a Living Graveyard (Part 6)

The Great Famine haunts every graveyard in Ireland. Alongside victims of the Great Hunger, many graveyards include the names of those who were forced to emigrate. In this podcast we look at how these events affected the communities around Preban. This episode is the sixth of seven in 'Stories from a Living Graveyard’. The series will be released daily as part of Heritage Week 2020. Sound by Jason Looney Special thanks to Yvonne Whitty, the Heritage Office of Wicklow County Coucil & Preban Graveyard Committee.
