Good Book On Ireland c.1700-c.1900

Hi all, Looking for a good read about Ireland in the period above, specifically from the Williamite Wars up to the Famine. It's sort of the only period of Irish history I don't really have a grasp on. Thanks

Roy Foster's Modern Ireland; 1600-1972 covers the period, and I think is generally well-regarded.
