Charitable Appeal Urges Immediate Aid For Distressed Irish Poor
An 1822 plea from Dasiln O Sullivan of Glin warns of extreme distress among starving families in Limerick, Cork, Galway and nearby counties. Letters describe scarce work, rising food prices, and partial potato crop failure. Committees urge rapid money transfers and targeted provisions rather than charity sales, while warning of looming famine without swift action.
