The Famine Memorial in Dublin is a collection of statues by sculptor Rowan Gillespie, depicting starving Irish people heading towards ships during the 19th-century famine. The figures are hauntingly skeletal, wearing ragged clothes, and serve as a powerful reminder of the tragic period in Irish history when millions died or emigrated due partially to the potato crop failure. Located on Custom House Quay, the memorial stands as a poignant tribute to those who suffered during this devastating time in Ireland's past.
