Jim - google Government of Ireland ACT 1914 - you will find it, the ACT means that it had been passed by both Houses of Parliament and that it was on the statute books. Date of the Buckingham Palace Conference was from 21st to 24th JULY 1914 Date the Irish Home Rule Bill 1914 received Royal Assent and became law was 18th SEPTEMBER 1914. With the outbreak of World War I on 4 August 1914, Asquith decided to abandon his Amending Bill, and instead rushed through a new bill the Suspensory Act 1914 which was presented for Royal Assent simultaneously with both the Government of Ireland Act 1914 and the Welsh Church Act 1914. Although the two controversial Bills had now finally reached the statute books on 18 September 1914, the Suspensory Act ensured that Home Rule would be postponed for the duration of the conflict and would not come into operation until the end of the war. Don't argue with me take it up with Hansard and the British Government. As usual you are totally wrong, documented record fact demonstrates this, the fact that you do not accept it only proves how delusional you are.
