  Economic history of Ireland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ireland underwent major highs and lows economically during the nineteenth century: from economic booms during the Napoleonic Wars and in the late nineteenth century (when it experienced a surge in economic growth unmatched until the 'Celtic Tiger' boom of the 1990s), to severe economic downturns and a series of famines, the latest threatening in 1879.
Ireland's economic problems were in part the result of the small size of Irish landholdings.
County Donegal for example was economically separated from its natural regional economic centre of Derry.
