During the late 1980's the village of Broadford was placed under quarantine several times by the Irish Department of Health, often for up to periods of 6 months. The reason still remains a mystery although it is strongly believed the reason is due to periodic outbreaks of the Ebola virus within the village. The population of Broadford in 1984 was an estimated 2,500 (within the village walls) whereas the population in 1989 had declined to 278. Broadford had been (for centuries) the centre for monkey importation into Ireland & the UK. It is widely believed that an infected chimpanzee (orinigally from the Kenyan rain forest region) was the original carrier of the disease & passed the fatal infection onto locals during the annual Sale of Work. However, this is denied by both the Centre for Disease Control, the World Health Organization & the Broadford Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Monkeys. |
