The Protestant Land owners were also greatly affected by the Irish Potato famine, although in a very different way to the British Government Officials.

Catholic Farmer
During the Irish potato famine, the majority of Catholic farmers were greatly affected. They suffered tremendous losses regarding income and profits as well as business.
Your task is to imagine that you are a member of a secret organisation that is planning how to overthrow the British government and prevent further genocide within Ireland, whilst also providing what you deem a necessary amount of resources such as new crops and fresh food to supply to local Catholic farmers and citizens living in poverty. Present your argument and ideas in a short speech.
