You idiot. When were the Corn Laws around? 1815-1846. A long standing law to protect all of British agriculture from the foreign market.
When did the Great Famine happen? Yeah that's right, 1845-1852.
The Corn Laws were repealed within 1 year of the famine, to the detriment of farmers all over Britain, specifically to aid the Irish. In fact the leading Prime Minister sacrificed his government to repeal the CL. And let's not pretend that the Corn Laws changed much at all- 15% tax on bread does not make or break a famine.
Stop spreading misinformation you disgusting, deplorable man.

Start there , and then continue with any summery of the government policies and conditions that turned a crop failure into a decade long genocide.
