How can you have more Irish emigration to mainland Europe (such as France, Austria or Spain, similar to the Flight of the Wild Geese) rather than the Americas during the Irish Famine?

People commonly cite the language barrier as a reason why they mainly chose America, but a lot of the areas affected the worst by the famine were Irish-speaking rather than English, and some Irish emigrants went to Mexico and Argentina which spoke Spanish.
