Yes it did. As the potato was the staple diet of Ireland when the blight hit all the crops died and as the land wasnt the best the people had no other food source. Many people died, not just because of starvation but also because as they made their earning by selling the potato when it failed they couldn't pay rent so they were evicted sending them onto the streets and into work houses which were probably the worst option for thepeople.
