The annual devotions at the Famine Graveyard, Robinstown, Mullingar will take place this year on Wednesday of next week, June 29 at 7.30pm and all interested are welcome to attend.
Mullingar’s Famine Graveyard was opened in the late 1840s, at a time when the worst effects of the Famine were being felt across the country, and in Westmeath and other midland counties because of want and starvation, there were excessive numbers of deaths.
