During the 1840s, particularly in Ireland, various measures were implemented to assist victims of the Great Famine. The British government established relief works, providing employment on public projects, and set up soup kitchens to distribute free food. Additionally, the Poor Law Extension Act allowed for the establishment of workhouses, though these were often overcrowded and harsh. Despite these efforts, the response was widely criticized as insufficient and poorly managed, leading to widespread suffering.
