This week 50 members gathered in the Senate room to discuss the Great Irish Famine of 1845-49, when the potato crop failed and roughly 1,000,000 people died, with millions more emigrating. Ireland's population still hasn't recovered. In this debate, we discussed whether or not this was a natural disaster or whether it was a more malicious and negligent effort. Please enjoy:
"This House Believes The Famine Was a Genocide."
Speeches start at 00:41:39.
Please tune in next week for our debate: "This House Regrets the Gig economy."
