In this study, it is aimed to examine the emergence of the potato famine in Ireland between 1845 and 1852, its development process, its effects, the socio-economic and political problems experienced during the famine, and the reflections of immigration from the country on the relevant literature sources and the British and Irish press of the period. On the other hand, the study deals with the Ottoman Sultan Abdulmecid's inability to remain insensitive to the famine in Ireland and the aid he provided to Ireland on behalf of the Ottoman Empire. Acting with the understanding of tolerance in the founding philosophy of the Ottoman Empire and as a result of the aid he provided to Ireland, the Irish people's gratitude to Sultan Abdülmecid is proven with the documents in the Prime Ministry Ottoman Archives, the Sultan sending grain-laden ships to Drogheda Port in Ireland, and In this context, it is aimed to evaluate its impact on the relations between the two countries.
