Summary

[edit]
Description

Yesterday we visited Parsonstown AKA Birr and the grandeur of Cumberlands column. Today we go north to Donegal and the poverty of a scraw hut near Gweedore.

With thanks to the community, and especially [/photos/66311327@N05/ B-59] and [/photos/129555378@N07/ sharon.corbet], our attention is drawn to the fact that this family appear in a series of images - with this shot highlighting their (hopefully) temporary shelter after eviction from their previous home. Sharon also highlights a Newspaper report on the evictions (and a subsequent geneological note) that a farm laborourer named Daniel O'Donnell had made a temporary turf hut for his family following their eviction. While we have no confirmation that this image is of the O'Donnell family, [/photos/20727502@N00/ guliolopez] delights in ending the story on a more positive note - that by the 1901 census, Daniel O'Donnell was living with his family locally - back in a stone house with at least 2 rooms, 3 windows, and thatched roof. Not the Ritz by any stretch, but hopefully an improvement from the temporary dwelling we see here...
