Here are just a few pictures from my two stays in Dublin, and from my stay in Letterkenny.
I came upon this store on one of my walks through Dublin.
There are many public monuments in Dublin. This is one of two memorials to the Famine. It is one of the many famine memorials throughout Ireland.

In Letterkenny, I met one of the Church of Ireland priests, who made sure I saw the monuments that are found going up the hill from Cathedral Square.
 |
| The monument to those killed in the First World War |
 |
| The monument at the site of Sentry Hill, where the men would watch our for the British while Mass was being celebrated at the local Mass rock. |

Pretty much every town of any size had a workhouse during the Famine, and they all had cemeteries with unmarked graves.
