From what I have read, the argument/debate from both sides, shows that the British Government of the day was out to Murder through starvation as many Irish ~ Catholic people as possible, with letting those that could, emigrate to a foreign land.
The workhouses set up to employ people were for the means of Britain, and any wage that was derived by the workers could not sustain any food, as there was no food to be purchased in Ireland. The amount of deaths and Policies of the British Government leaves no uncertain beliefs that it was Genocide. James Mackay
