RTÉ Six-One News report on the start of the 2017 Strokestown to Dublin Famine Walk. The 155 km walk commemorates the first part of the journey made by 1,490 emigrants in May 1847. They were evicted from the estate of Major Denis Mahon of Strokestown Park House under an assisted emigration initiative by the estate, one of many in Ireland at that time. Their final destination was Quebec in Canada. See [ Ссылка ] for more background.
