Oh, brother! I had family members to died because of the potato famine in Ireland. It is nothing to joke about.

About 1 million people died. Another estimated 1 million people emigrated from Ireland to many other countries, including England, Canada, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, other English-speaking British colonies, and countries in Central and South America.

Ireland lost between 20% - 25% of its population during the famine years, early 1840s through 1852, from both death and Immigration.

There is not enough room in this question and answer forum to cover all the relevant issues involved in the Irish Potato Famine. I suggest you go to your local public library and ask a reference librarian to help you research the subject. You can start by reading information on it in one of the multi-volume encyclopedias the library holds.

Not very good. Between deaths and emigration, Ireland's population reduced by millions. Even many of those that survived and stayed in Ireland would have been severely ill.
