    Ireland still hasn't entirely recovered from the potato famine of the 1840s.

        Also massive cultural and linguistic loss. Prior to 1847 Ireland had millions of monoglot Irish speakers. Today there are less than 100,00 daily speakers of the language, none of whom (other than very young children) are monoglot. Ireland as it was died in An Gorta Mór.

        I wish people trying to show how much they hate the English would stop wrongly calling the Great Famine a genocide. You either don’t understand history or what the word genocide means. The English were entirely to blame for the famine but doesn’t meet the definition of genocide

        Exactly right. Enlish policy in the late 16th and 17th Century, on the other hand, very much meets the definition of genocide.

        Definitely Cromwell started the genocide with mass murders of civilians in Wexford and drogheda. The Roots of the Famine were laid then with driving the Irish off the land. The famine itself was the result of previous genocide and racist English political decisions of the day

        The population back then was about 8 million. And they were ALL Irish, a lot of Irish speakers, who knew about Irish legends, Irish culture, Entire families who just wiped out. The current population is around 4 million and a lot of them are foreign.

        What has a portion of Ireland's population being of foreign descent got to do with this discussion?

        And the abject poverty they were kept in by English landlords meant they had neither the means nor education to go fishing. And not everyone lived near a coastline. Such a flippant observation #LetThemEatCake

        No not a snarky question at all. Seriously it was a genuine question as I just don’t know enough about this. Have read up some stuff and going to read more. What I have read so far is quite shocking to say the least.
