In recognition of the fact that the Great Famine affected all parts of the island, the location of the annual Commemoration has rotated in sequence between the four provinces since the first Commemoration took place in Dublin in 2008 and falls to Ulster in 2015. As part of the events organised by Newry, Mourne and Down District Council to commemorate the Great Famine, Newry and Mourne Museum would like to invite you to take part in the following activities. These events form part of an extensive programme of activities organised by Newry, Mourne and Down District Council for the 2015 Annual Famine Commemoration taking place on 26th September in Newry.
