Ireland lost something like 25% of its population. And it wasn't because of a lack of food. This is the most important point. In the 1840s, Parliament adopted a laissez-faire attitude, meaning they thought if they gave just free stuff to these Irish people, they wouldn't work hard for themselves. The market will take care of this. And of course it's not. They did buy something like $100,000 worth of maize, corn out of the United States that was shipped to Ireland.
