Tomorrow morning from 9am our Fellow Dr Niamh Gallagher will be speaking on In Our Time - BBC Radio 4 on the subject of the Great Irish Famine.
The potato blight, which struck Ireland in September 1845, had all the effects of a ‘nuclear explosion’ upon Irish society. By 1851 it had killed one million people, and a further two million people had emigrated by 1856. Within the space of ten years, Ireland’s population had declined by almost one quarter. It would in fact never recover: Ireland is the only country in Europe today that has fewer people than it did in 1845.
The Great Famine transformed the social structure of rural Ireland, and provided an important context for the political reform sought later in the century.
