There's 40 million Irish descendants in the US. The Irish weren't wiped out, they just left. Also it's hard to take that concern seriously when today's Irish government has done more to increase foreigner control over Ireland than the British government ever did.

They “just left” because the British starved them.

Can't blame the British for Agricural drought. Imagine how many more would have starved without Britain running poor houses there.
