Original Note:
This claim is both incorrect and blatantly racist. It’s incorrect because pre-famine population was 8.5M and at that point Ireland had a huge agricultural surplus. The proponent doesn’t advocate for population control, but an immigration ban, giving out an obvious racist tone. https://www.dfa.ie/irish-embassy/usa/about-us/ambassador/ambassadors-blog/black47irelandsgreatfamineanditsafter-effects
