Did you know the ottoman empire helped Ireland back in the days?

"Ireland suffered the Great Famine between 1845 and 1851 resulting in the loss of lives of around one million of the Irish population and causing another million to flee overseas. During the Famine, the Ottoman Sultan Abdülmecit provided 1.000 Pounds of financial aid to Ireland."

So what? Lots of money was raised to help the Irish but very little of it actually got to where it was needed. Most ended up in the pockets of corrupt officials.
