- How could there be a famine in a land with surplus food?
- How did Britain respond?
- What were the Penal laws and how did they impact this disaster?
- Why were 3 million people reliant on potatoes to survive?
- How could a country with a population of nearly 9 million people be divided into only 10,000 estates?
This is the story of how that immense tragedy came to pass. This is the truth behind the Irish famine.
