The Burren - Ireland

Tanya and the "Famine Walls"

"There were rock walls built on them that went nowhere and served no purpose
They are called the 'famine walls'
They were built during the famine in Ireland when the Brits,
when trying to break the spirits of the Irish
and have them renounce their Catholicism,
made the men, women and children build these walls"

"Joey stopped the bus and we climbed out on the Burren
It was like being on the moon
- so different to the Ireland I thought which was rolling green hills
and that sort of thing"
