Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox monument The Famine Memorial, officially titled Famine, is a memorial in Dublin, Ireland. The memorial, which stands on Customs House Quay, is in remembrance of the Great Famine (1845-1849), which saw the population of the country halved through death and emigration.[1][2]

History

The memorial was created by Rowan Gillespie and presented to the city of Dublin in 1997.[3] The sculpture features six lifesize figures dressed in rags, clutching onto their belongings and children. In 2007, similar figures were unveiled at Ireland Park in Toronto, Canada. The two memorials show emigrants leaving famished Ireland for a new life.[4][5]
