    Oh it’s still in living memory, Ireland and Irish culture still hasn’t recovered from it.

      The population has barely recovered, in fact. If i recall correctly, it was within the past five years that the Irish population exceeded pregenocide levels.

        Just googled it

        Pre-genocide it was8.2-8.5 million, today it’s 5.1

        They’re still 60-67% of what their population was before
