[edit] Famine refugees

I haven't changed this back, but am not in agreement with Damac's alteration of 'famine victims' to 'Irish immigrants'. There can be no doubt whatsoever from a historical perspective that the immigrants of the time were fleeing the famine. Can't we revert this back to 'famine refugees'? 82.28.247.93 21:13, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Irish band Feenish have recorded a song called Gross Isle 'The Isle of Tears' composed by band member Don Stiffe. Speaks to the awful conditions experienced by the emigrees. Appears on their album 'Rabharta' meaning 'in full spate' in gaelic. album details at http://www.irishtune.info/album/Fns/ breandan18 Breandan18 (talk) 03:32, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
