Ireland, today, has a smaller population than it did prior to the potato famine.

To be fair they all came over here. There are 32 million people in the US of Irish descent and only 7 million Irish back in Ireland.

Good call. If Ireland's population had grown at the same rate as the rest of Europe over the last 200 years, they would have around 25 Million people instead of the 5 Million they currently have (before the Potato Famine, they had around 8.5 Million).
