Irish-speaking communities in the west took in and looked after English-speaking refugees from the east. These western communities were well-fed off the sea and had their own small plots of potatoes that didn&#8217;t fail.<\/p>\n<h2>Burial of the Famine dead<\/h2>\n<p>By the time the people reached Conamara they were too far gone. Heard grandmother telling about what her mother had told her. When they died, the local people buried them. And when children were going to school, parents urged them to place a small stone on the graves they met along the way.<\/p>\n<div class=\"n\u00f3ta\u00ed-bun-leathanaigh\">\n<h2 id=\"t:notai\">Notes<\/h2>\n<p>Elements of what Joe says regarding The Great Famine should be treated with caution. For example, while it is true that access to seafood attenuated the effects of the Famine in some coastal regions &mdash; to a <em>point<\/em> &mdash; communities in those areas were far from immune from them.
