Submission Documents: By Councillor Feargal Dalton:- "Council notes the significant cultural, economic and social impact of Ireland's An Gorta Mor and the Scottish Highland Potato Famine on the modern day character of our great city. Council recognises the efforts made by Glaswegians at the time to provide relief and sanctuary to those affected; a tradition that continues now as our city and its citizens provide hope and assistance to those throughout the world affected by famine today. Council therefore agrees to create a working group to examine the feasibility of, and to make recommendations for, a memorial to those who perished and to those who migrated to this city, and elsewhere, to escape starvation and forge a new life."
