Passage 1 The word “Famine” in Ireland usually refers to the Great Famine of 1845-49, whichkilled about a million people and drove millions more into exile over the following twodecades. Those who perished, as usual with famines, died more of disease than starvation. In fact 30 In most famines, there is enough food around the place. The problem lies inbringing the food and the hungry people together. In other words, famines are usually causedby people’s inability to buy food, not by its total absence. 31 The bug which blighted thepotato crop year after year seems to have caused an absolute food shortage in the country.Some nationalists point angrily to the fact that food nevertheless went on being exported toBritain during the Famine. 32 But some historians claim that keeping this food in thecountry might not have made that much difference. 33 After all, Ireland at the time wassupposed to be part of the United Kingdom and there was more than enough food in the UKas a whole.
