The Irish came to America from years 1845 - 1849 because of the Potato Famine. The Irish Potato Famine was when tons of potato crops were infected with a fungus that killed more than a million people, and caused another couple million to move to America.

How where the people of Ireland affected by the sandstorm of 2014?
Apart from its own beaches, Ireland is a long way from any large sand areas. Major sandstorms in the Sahara Desert, thousands of miles from Ireland, do occasionally lift sand into the atmosphere. This sand can then travel north across Europe, sometimes even coming as far as Ireland, and is then deposited on land. People will sometimes notice it on their cars. This is what would have happened with sandstorms in 2014, so people in Ireland would have seen small amounts of sand that would have come from the Sahara Desert.

When did a sand storm hit Ireland?
Ireland does not really get sandstorms, in the sense of major ones you would see in countries with deserts. What does happen occasionally is that sand from Sahara Desert gets lifted into the air during storms and is carried north across Europe and is deposited across countries, even as far north as Ireland. People find light dustings of sand on the ground and it is particularly noticed when it lands on cars. At the time of answering the question, the most recent time this happened was in March 2014.
