Rubbish. There was famine across the whole of Europe. The government imported millet to feed people and militant Irish Nationalists called it "Peel's Brimstone" (it's yellow, remember) and claimed that those eating it would put their immortal souls in danger. Yes, they could have done more. But that doesn't mean they actively plotted to starve people as modern Irish Nationalists like to claim.
