hi! there have been a few threads on this question which will be of interest

• "The Irish Potato Famine was really more of a genocide." Is this true?

• Would you classify the Irish Potato Famine a genocide? If so, why? - some overlap with previous post

• Historians, what's your take on the argument that the Irish Potato Famine was in essence an act of genocide perpetrated by the British government?

• Why exactly did the Irish Potato famine happen?

• Was there Genocide in Ireland?

e: oops, had one post here twice

There is a useful article here from Prof. Liam Kennedy of Queens University Belfast 'The Irish Famine and the Jewish Holocaust "
