The Ambassador of Cuba participates in the National Commemoration of Famine, held in the city of Cork with the presence of Michael D. Higgins, President of Ireland.
The University of Cork was the venue of the national commemoration that remembers the victims of the great famine, which hit Ireland in the middle of the 19th century and that caused more than one million victims and forced the largest emigration of Ireland. Its population was reduced by more than two and a half million people and even today Ireland has less population than in 1850.
