why there was an eviction?

Can you just imagine the tragedy that this was for some family? Can you imagine the hurt and shame that was attached to having your few possessions thrown out onto the street to the laughs and catcalls of the local urchins? When I was growing up this was still prevalent and those evicted had an uncertain future, ready accomodation was not always readily available, transporting your bits and bobs to a safe place was not easy. Indeed the "handcart" nearby would probably be the only thing they could afford or obtain and there are some unforgiving hills in Waterford if your relatives lived in the wrong place. What a terrific and terrifying insight into social history? Well done Carol, 1001 is a good start to the million!

Local Donegal people petitioned the government to help re-open them in 1997 and in 1999 they were making carpets again for places such as Áras an Uachtaráin, Dublin Castle and the University of Notre Dame.

HUZZAH!
