While they had a unique legal status, they were still considered migrants in British society, especially during periods of significant migration, like the famine of 1850. https://www.themanchesterreview.co.uk/?p=2976#:~:text=The%20Irish%20on%20the%20Manchester%20Ship%20Canal%2C%20as%20far%20as%20the%20author%20could%20ascertain&text=anti%2DIrish%20combination%20of%20fever%2C%20poverty%2C%20crime%20and%20absence%20of%20character. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Irish_sentiment https://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/CDP-2022-0055/CDP-2022-0055.pdf
