A really rough gist of this is: In 1847, thousands of Irish came to Gort Mór (great field, probably the name of the island in Irish), dying or ill, immigrating to Canada. I can't get a whole lot more without a dictionary in hand, but it's probably talking about his service to the Irish people here.
