Tenant farming was banned.
G
More than one million people died.

Explanation

The Great Famine caused widespread hunger and disease, killing more than one million people. Many others left Ireland, and the combined deaths and emigration caused Ireland’s population to fall. The crisis also led to evictions, so many farmers lost their homes. Cash-crop exports did not stop, and Ireland did not gain independence as a result of the famine.
