I didn't attend either
They should not be invited ..
It would be like a murderer being invited to his victims anniversary mass...

One of the first to help where in fact English ie the Quakers,we didnt help ourselves ,large beef and grain farmers where still exporting right throughout the famine ,it wasn't just the English that where following the"laissez faire" model of economics,lets stop looking back with green tinted glasses
a thousand kisses deep..
The farmers exporting the beef and grain were english landlords installed by the crown..
How were the Irish supposed to help themselves when they were living in abject poverty and under a tyrannical regime with the sole purpose of milking the country of its assets even before the famine ?
When the potato crop failed they were unable to pay their rent and were turfed out on the road...
To try and defend the english here is on a par with defending Hitler and Nazi Germany...

There was no need for anybody go hungry when you could beat a sheep to death and then eat it.....................the problem was that our ancestors were more interested in shagging the poor beasts than eating them.
Not too complimentary a remark there mate, but hey , a smart move would be to kill 2 birds with one stone and shag em to death then eat them.
(re :ancestors , are you confusing the Irish with the Welsh by any chance?)
