EMIGRATION
On Thursday, some 200 emigrants, principally former servants, of both sexes, and all exhibiting an
appearance of comfort, left Tralee, by rail, for Queenstown, bound for America, for the Inman
Steamer, whose complement, as announced by telegraphic despatches to Mr Shea, in Killarney, and Mr Hanifin, in Tralee, was filled up on Tuesday morning. Among this hardy “land of hope” were no less than 100 young women. This large body of emigrants were principally from Dingle, Tarbert, Listowel and the neighbourhood of Tralee. Among those booked from Killarney we regretted to see a respectable member of the constabulary, Sub-constable Thomas Fitzgerald, driven away in disgust as too many others of that valuable force, to which the country owes so much have already been. This respectable and efficient young man, who was stationed for the last five years in Killarney, was one of those employed on the census. For this laborious task he received a “Splendid Shilling”. This is the shabby way in which the finest force in Europe are treated. – Tralee Chronicle 2 5 1867.
THE EXODUS
The emigration season has set in here with renewed vigour,large numbers leaving Tralee every week, particularly from the western parts of the country. Around Dingle we hear the exodus threatens to clear off great numbers of population.
“Tralee Chronicle” 16 May 1870
FAMINE: the greater portion of the east and north of Ireland was not more distressed at this moment than parts of the south of England. The rates were collected as easily as in many parts of the south of England. In other parts of Ireland there was not the least need of assistance if proper exertions were made. He might refer to the case of the union of Listowel, in which the collection of the rates had fallen into some disorder. An active officer was sent down, and within six weeks the demands over due were not only paid, but a balance of 700l. [pounds?] remained in the treasurer’s hands. It was, notwithstanding, imperatively necessary, unless they wished to see hundreds perishing from starvation in certain districts of
Ireland, 7 2 1849.

EMIGRATION.
One thousand emigrants have already left Tralee for America; and a very fine vessel, the Intrinsic, is
expected daily by the Messrs. Kennelly to take passengers to New York. Besides this continued stream to the New World, a much less noticed, but scarcely less extensive current of emigration of the able-bodied working classes, particularly female servants, is maintained, per Blarney steamer, to London. Not less we believe, than 100 working people of both sexes were carried by that vessel from Tralee to London, during the past month. The passengers who left in her last Sunday morning present a healthy, comfortably dressed appearance, not that of those pinched by poverty.
The National Library in the Bathurst collection, 1923 Historical Manuscripts has a letter from Lord Carbery. He comments on widespread poverty and emigration. The tradesmen going to the United States and the labourers going the New Brunswick. Some time after the Eddys from Bandon were corresponding to and from New Brunswick and comment on the widespread poverty and near starvation of poor Protestants in the Bandon following the collapse of the woolen trade. These are held in the Cork Archives and the reference is given below:

I am going to write again to Mr Gamble when we go shall bring all your photoes [photos?]

USA: June 18 2019 President Trump Rally
Those who get their news from the networks and the other left-leaning media have not heard a complete list of the president’s many accomplishments, especially in the pro-life arena. By watching this rally, you will hear first-hand from the president himself everything he has accomplished in two-and-a-half-years in the Oval Office.
For instance, did you know that more than 5.8 million jobs have been created since President Trump was elected, and that more Americans are working now than ever before? Or that Medicare reform is saving senior citizens hundreds of millions of dollars?
The president is 100 percent committed to preserving the sanctity of life,
and he has done so much already to defend the unborn. This month he announced that he is putting a stop to the use of the remains of aborted babies in medical research. He also restored conscience rights to health-care practitioners who are opposed to abortion. His 112 (and counting!) new judges on the federal bench are transforming liberal, activist courts to something more in line with what the Founding Fathers had in mind.
Through the Protect Life Rule, the president redirected $60 million in federal funding away from Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers. The president also rescinded an Obama-era rule that prohibited states from defunding Planned Parenthood.
His list of accomplishments in long and impressive and rarely reported in the left-leaning media.
Taken from
Fr. Frank Pavone. National Director, Priests for Life.
