Irish Holocaust Denial

DUBLIN, Ireland (Reuters) -- They hit the headlines when there were too few. And now the humble spud is back in the limelight ... because there are too many.

today.

""Europe's biggest consumer of potatoes is producing far too many spuds, Irish farming officials say, almost 160 years after a potato famine killed one million people and forced two million more to flee the island.

Over-dependence on the vegetable caused devastation when the 1845 crop failed, but now over-production and the dominance of imported processed potatoes is troubling the industry again.

"They starved in their millions for want of the potato and now we cannot give them away," said Tom Maher, potato specialist with the Agriculture and Food Development Authority.""
