Donegal	Gweedore		3200	The Special Correspondent of the Daily Telegraph has not seen "such uniform distress" in any part of the West. His time being precious, he could not wait another day to see scenes still more appalling. The distress here is becoming quite general. I fear we shall have to sink under it. It will be absolutely necessary for us to order meal to an amount of about £120. This very thing gives some idea of the magnitude of the distress in this parish. In another month it will be easy to count the families that will be free from it.

	Corofin	1000	2524	I believe there is great and exceptional distress this year, and in some parts of the district absolute want of the necessaries of life, and also want of fuel. I have seen two cases lately in which I consider death was accelerated by want of sufficient food and warmth.

	Kilmaley	1000	Likely to increase	Without money; without credit; with starvation either actually present or threatening in the near future.

	Kilshanny	450	605	More than ninety families all in need of a kind and helping hand, some with hunger pangs at their hearts. Nay, more; poor fathers and mothers, in addition to their own sufferings, must behold what to them is even more heartrending—the child of tender years, nay, the little infant, crying for food—even the poorest—and the little hungry mouth crying in vain.

	Miltown-Malbay	1540	2114	I have been witness to the poor of both sexes, with spades, re-digging the potato soil, searching from morn till night for the old small potatoes left or covered by the diggers in the harvest.

	Kilworth	500	1000	Distress general and severe. The small farmers have no seed to sow this Spring.
	Kilcaskin	1300	1126	The people abhor relief, and would much rather work for their living. Failure of potato crop and bad Land Laws the immediate cause of distress.
	Kingwilliams-town	700	660	Labourers; cause of their present destitution is having to pay exorbitant rents for houses not fit for human beings to live in; and for gardens in which potatoes did not, of late years, grow.

Cork	Youghal		1724	In addition to the immediate want of food, the poor farmers require to be supplied with seed—both potato and corn—in order to be in a position to plant their ground. If this want is not supplied, the land must go untilled, and the consequence will be another famine next year, as, I well remember, the same thing occurred in 1847.
Kerry	Annascaul	1500	2120	The distress existing here at present is so intense and widespread that almost innumerable people must necessarily perish of hunger unless we can procure them some very substantial aid.

Kerry	Ballymacelli-got	2000	1800	From the 15th of October to the 12th of January no employment whatever was given to them, and the natural consequence was, that they were obliged to pawn and sell everything they possessed to ward off the pangs of hunger; and at this moment scarcely an article of wearing apparel or of bed-clothing is to be found in their homes.

	Castleisland	2500	2470	Investigations into the condition of these people have revealed that hundreds are enduring terrible privations for want of bedding and clothing. The wretched rags worn during the day are the only covering they have for night, and the children are either obliged to remain away from the schools, for want of clothing, or go half-naked when they are attracted by the prospect of getting some food.page 17
Kerry	Caherciveen	10,000	Not likely	Small farmers and labourers; succession of bad harvests; low price of cattle and butter (the staple support of the people); failure of potato crop; stoppage of all credit; want of employment, and failure of fisheries.
	Duagh		550

	Dromod		1120	Distress general, owing to failure of crops; depression in price of cattle, butter, pigs, &c. No other parish in Ireland contains so much barren and waste land. The smaller farmers have consumed their seed potatoes, and are now in danger of starving, when they should be sowing their crops.
