I would say that in all of Irish history, the hunger of 1845-1850, commonly, but improperly, known as the Famine, is among the greatest historical events that occurred in Ireland. It was during this era that Ireland saw massive emigration with many of those people coming to the United States. These people brought a deep love of their faith and family to America and became loyal Americans. The sons and daughters of these emigrants assimilated themselves to their new homeland and made their mark in the US.

....Although not at all to detract from the above, i would put the most important one as the synod of whitby in 664. Prior to this most of the north of England adhered to an Irish model of Christianity however this moved to the roman model, chiefly due to the dating of Easter, afterwards. this idea of the Celtic church standing apart due to differing customs fashion and a more secular legal system lead to the issuing of the papal bull laudabiliter in 1155 by Adrian IV giving authorisation for the king of England to invade Ireland and subdue it. The excuse being that the Irish ways of worship were contrary to the roman cannon law and needed to be reformed. then came all the trouble up to the present day.
