The choice in the 1850’s was quite stark: emigrate and live, or stay and die. It is estimated that during this time period, one half of the Irish population either left for America, England or Australia or died. One half!

Interestingly, there are about 35 million Americans whose primary descent is Irish, while Ireland (north and south) has a population of about six million.

My understanding was that Ireland went from a population of ~6Million in 1840 to a population of ~2million in 1860 and most of the natural increase through 1900 also emigrated. More left Ireland than died in the Famine.
