Original Note:
While the British were indeed considered a blight by the Irish, they were not the blight that caused the Great Famine. A breakout of the fungus-eske microorganism Phytophthora Infestans was to blame for this disaster. Estimated starvation fatalities exceed one million people. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Famine_(Ireland)
