Skibbereen (iriska: An Sciobairín) är en ort i grevskapet Cork och huvudstaden i West Cork på Irland.[1] Namnet Skibbereen betyder "liten båthamn".
Potatispesten kostade runt 8 000 till 10 000 människor livet i området under mitten av 1800-talet. Detta var en av de värst drabbade byarna i landet. Därför valdes Skibbereen ut som första stad att fokusera på under den nationella dagen för att minnas de som gick bort under potatispesten.[2]

Site of Famine Burial Pits at Abbeystrowery The worst disaster to befall Ireland was undoubtedly the Great Famine that occurred during 1845 - 1850 as a result of successive potato crop failures. The town of Skibbereen suffered particularly badly, and it has been estimated that as many as 10,000 victims were buried at this site.
