Ireland largely remained an agrarian, unindustrialized, troubled, and relatively impoverished island long after the famine's conclusion and the population continued to decline throughout the decades, largely due to emigration abroad.

在饥荒结束后很长一段时间，爱尔兰大体上仍然是一个农业、未工业化、动荡不安和相对贫困的岛屿，几十年来人口持续下降，主要是由于移民国外。
