The Great Famine or the Irish Potato Famine was a period of mass starvation, disease, and emigration in Ireland between
1845 and 1852. Approximately one million people died and a million more emigrated from Ireland. The proximate cause of
famine was potato blight, which ravaged potato crops throughout Europe during the 1840s. However, the impact in Ireland
was disproportionate, as one third of the population was dependent on the potato for a range of ethnic, religious, political,
social, and economic reasons, such as land acquisition, absentee landlords, and the Corn Laws, which all contributed to the
disaster to varying degrees and remain the subject of intense historical debate. The famine was a watershed in the history
of Ireland, which was then part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The famine and its effects permanently
changed the island's demographic, political, and cultural landscape. For both the native Irish and those in the resulting
diaspora, the famine entered folk memory and became a rallying point for Irish nationalist movements. The already strained
relations between many Irish and the British Crown soured further, heightening ethnic and sectarian tensions, and boosting
Irish nationalism and republicanism in Ireland and among Irish emigrants in the United States and elsewhere.

The Troubles, as they have come to be known, was a difficult time for Northern Ireland and especially for Belfast. Although there
have been on and off sectarian and religious tensions since the 1600s in Northern Ireland, things really got bad during the 1960s and
1970s. Belfast became a deeply divided city. The British army, first deployed in 1969 to restore order, became a feature of Belfast
life, with huge fortified barracks being constructed, predominantly in nationalist west Belfast. Despite the paramilitary cease fires of
1994, today the city still remains scarred by the conflict between the two communities. In all, nearly 1,500 people have been killed
in political violence in the city from 1969 until the present. In recent years Belfast has prospered due to the peace that there is now
in Northern Ireland. Most people in Belfast are glad for the peace, and don't want to go back to the dark days of the troubles.
Titanic Belfast is a visitor attraction and a monument to Belfast's maritime heritage on the site of the former Harland & Wolff shipyard
in the city's Titanic Quarter where the RMS Titanic was built. It tells the stories of the ill-fated Titanic, which hit an iceberg and sank
during her maiden voyage in 1912, and her sister ships RMS Olympic and HMHS Britannic.

A brief history...
Galway City was originally formed from a small fishing village located in the area near the Spanish Arch called
‘The Claddagh’ where the River Corrib meets Galway Bay. Galway later became a walled town in the year 1232
after the territory was captured by the Anglo Normans lead by Richard De Burgo. The town walls, some sections
of which can be seen today near the Spanish Arch, were constructed circa 1270. A charter was granted in 1396
by Richard II which transferred governing powers to 14 merchant families, known locally as the 14 tribes of
Galway. Galway's strategic coastal location and natural harbour area resulted in a successful trade with both
Portugal and Spain and the city prospered for centuries.
Galway Today a thriving, bohemian, cultural city on the western coast of Ireland. Along with being a popular
seaside destination with beautiful beaches and long winding promenade, it also has a buzzing cosmopolitan city
centre. The city is a joy to explore with its labyrinthine cobbled streets, colourful shop facades and busy café/ bar
culture. The city is also well known for its many festivals throughout the year
