The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It constituted a major historical social crisis and had a significant impact on Irish society and history.
- The most severely affected areas were in western and southern Ireland, where the Irish language was dominant, hence, in Irish, the period was contemporaneously known as an Drochshaol, which translates to "the bad life" and loosely translates to "the hard times".
- Debate exists regarding nomenclature for the event, including whether to use the terms "Famine", "Potato Famine" or "Great Hunger".
