Yes, Potato blight is endemic in Ireland and Europe, but today a variety of types of potato are grown some of which are blight resistant and we also have chemical sprays that can kill the fungus. The trouble with the blight in the past was that there were no sprays and only one variety of potato was grown and when a blight evolved to attack this variety, it meant that ALL the Irish crop was hit and this lead to famine.
It rots the potato making it unfit for eating.
The Irish potato famine was caused by blight.
Phytophthora infestans(known as late blight) caused the Irish potato blight.
