The Famine monument in Kilmallock
In 1841, the first 30 destitute people from this area were admitted to Kilmallock workhouse. Countless victims of the Great Famine (1845-51) were buried in the workhouse cemetery, known as Bully Acre. The Famine Memorial Park has a tall stone structure with a large limestone cross. Her Excellency Mary McAleese, President of Ireland, opened the park in 1999.
