I just heard there was a famine in Ireland from 1945 to 1952 WTF like on RTE.

maybe there was? it was just after the 'emergency' after all 😶

There was one in the late 1870's and another in the 1920's, but neither had anything like the death toll of the 1845-49 famine.

There was also an earlier one in the 1700's, depending on the definition of "famine" there may well have been a period where it met the definition post WW2.

there was very little fruit or any food imports in those years so alot more hares and rabbits ect were eaten, but there was no famine

More people died as a precentage of the overall population in 1700s famine.

The Irish Famine of 1740–1741 (Irish: Bliain an Áir, meaning the Year of Slaughter) in the Kingdom of Ireland, is estimated to have killed between 13% and 20% of the 1740 population of 2.4 million people, which was a proportionately greater loss than during the Great Famine of 1845–1852.[1][2][3]

No, it was just simple mistake in someone saying "19" instead of "18". The Great Famine was 1845-1852.

One island one country, we will be that way again.

Not even my stark raving mad Republican old school teacher termed it a 'genocide', Irish Americans started calling it that fairly recently and caught on over here.
