PAPERS: Irish Post
Nineteenth Century Emigration
From 1815 onwards, Catholic emigration became more prevalent. In fact,
from 1815 until the beginning of the famine in 1846, a staggering
number of people left the country. Between 800,000 and one million
Irish men and women sailed west, with half settling in North America
and the other half going to Canada. South America also attracted a
significant number of Irish emigrants during these years.
Such large numbers paint a picture of deprivation in Ireland, even
before the devastation of the famine. The potato crop failed fourteen
times between 1816 and 1845. British industrialisation also took its
toll. For instance, Ireland’s textile industry, a significant source
of employment, collapsed because it couldn’t compete with Britain’s
new production methods.
To make matters worse, changes in land use at the end of the
Napoleonic Wars in 1815 saw farm labourers squeezed out. As the
English army no longer required large amounts of grain, many Irish
landowners switched to rearing cattle. That meant fewer jobs for farm
hands.

HARVEST: This year has seen the earliest start to the UK grain harvest
since 2006, according to the Agricultural and Horticultural
Development Board (AHDB), with multiple reports of winter barley being
cut in June.
There was a slight pause in combining following a band of heavy
rainfall during the weekend of July 5-6. but the harvest has since
picked up.
However, progress is highly variable, both within and between regions.
Out of farms surveyed across the UK, 10% of winter barely crops are
reported to have been harvested.
==============================
RAGWORT; Senator McCarthy said ragwort’s bright yellow flowers may
appear benign “but beneath its sunny facade lies a grave risk to
Ireland’s agricultural heritage and public health”.
“Ragwort contains toxic alkaloids that can fatally damage the
livers of horses and cattle. Landowners face fines of up to €1,000 for
failing to control its spread.
