Rearranged Substitution

Not for the faint of heart--Irish words

Although the Irish potato blight receded in 1850, the effects of the famine continued to spur Irish emigration to America into the 20th century.

Choose two words that can be combined and rearranged into an Irish word which is related to the remaining word of that group.

For example, act-clatter-roil, combine and rearrange the words act and roil into cliotar which is related to clatter.
