The term "poor Irish farmers" typically refers to the many small-scale agricultural laborers and tenant farmers in Ireland, particularly during the 19th century, who faced extreme poverty, land insecurity, and economic hardship. Many of these farmers struggled to make a living due to factors like poor soil, high rents, and crop failures, notably during the Great Famine (1845-1852). This period saw widespread suffering and emigration as families sought better opportunities abroad. The plight of these farmers has been a significant aspect of Irish history and literature.
