Famine Memorial
Description
"Famine" is a moving sculpture in commemoration of those forced to emigrate during the famine of the 19th century. The sculpture by Rowan Gillespie was bought and donated to the people of Ireland by Norma Smurfit, one of Ireland's more altruistic millionaires. The six larger-than-life figures evoke a haunted feel in this part of the quays, which is all the more significant as many of the emigrants departed from this quay to Liverpool and the New World.
