The repeal of the Corn Laws did little t help Ireland. It was pretext to pave the the way for Free Trade, something which Peel had supported for some time.

Robert Peel will forever be based and the second greatest British prime minister of all time (after William Pitt The Younger, of course) simply and solely for revoling that disgusting abomination called Corn laws

History is so complicated that even something that would seem as universally good as repealing the corn laws had some pretty bad effects for GB. Free trade would later de-industrialize the country on the eve of WWI.
