Just to add...
If it wasn't for the U.S (mostly)...
Ireland would have lost everyone and everything.
The British controlled import of Aid much like Israel does in Gaza...
They stole Aid that came via ships from the States and tried to sell minimal amounts back to the Irish...
Who of course couldn't afford to purchase the Aid because their income from exports had been destroyed...
Oh yes, "the Landlords" we're quite evil...
Wouldn't be surprised if the death toll was much higher than we're told either.

Maybe it was an import-export rivalry that got excessive in terms of oneupmanship.
