THE PURSUIT OF SOVEREIGNTY AND THE IMPACT OF PARTITION 1912 – 49

THE HOME RULE BILL 1912 – 14

WHAT DO WE ALREADY KNOW ABOUT HOME RULE? Isaac Butt founded the Home Government Association – Home Rulers entered parliament as a political party under Butt Gladstone wanted to pacify Ireland and introduced 2 land acts (1870&81) and 2 HR bills (1886&93) Charles Stuart Parnell succeeded Butt and was a leading politician until the O’Shea divorce and the defeat of 1886 HR Conservatives had a policy of ‘killing HR with kindness’ The HR party, under John Redmond made HR a major issue

1910 ELECTION The results of the election meant that the Liberals under Asquith could not form a government of their own against the Conservatives and Unionists. What do you think this meant for Ireland? THE ELECTION RESULTS, 1910 LIBERALS275 CONSERVATIVES253 HOME RULE (REDMOND) 73 HOME RULE (HEALY)11 LABOUR40 UNIONISTS19

THE 3 RD HOME RULE BILL The 1912 Home Rule Bill was similar to the 1886 & 1893 bills in that it reinforced strong links with Westminster but had some differences. The bill proposed: – An all-Ireland assembly in Dublin, including Ulster. – An unelected Senate (40) and elected House of Commons (164). – 42 Irish MPs would attend Westminster. – The Lord Lieutenant would remain as the Crown’s representative in Ireland and had the power of veto. – Westminster would retain international and financial responsibility while Ireland had control over domestic issues. – The parliament would be prevented from making laws that favoured one religion.

REACTION TO THE BILL ENGLISH PUBLIC IRISH NATIONALISTS CONSERVATIVES HOUSE OF LORDS INTERNATIONAL ISSUES

IRELAND WAS DIVIDED. WHO WERE ON THE TWO SIDES? NATIONALIST Irish Republican Brotherhood (IRB) under Thomas Clarke Irish Volunteers under Eoin MacNeill Cumann na mBan under Countess Constance Markievicz UNIONIST Ulster Unionists Southern Unionists Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) under James Craig

REPUBLIC Nationalists wanted a republic. This is a state in which political power is held by the people or their elected representatives, rather than a monarch. Britain was a constitutional monarchy, which meant that the monarch shared power with an elected president. Ireland was part of this.

MAJOR INCIDENTS IN DIVIDED IRELAND: 1912 – 14 Write a note on each of these major incidents in the conflict: – The signing of the Solemn League and Covenant, September 1912 – The Curragh Mutiny, March 1914 – The Larne Gunrunning, April 1914 – The Howth Gunrunning, July 1914 – The Buckingham palace Conference, July 1914

HOME RULE AT LAST Home Rule became law on 18 th September 1914 but was postponed for the duration of the war. To what extent was this a success or failure for John Redmond and the Home Rule party?
