Jim,
The Unionists were totally opposed to the Home Rule Bill unless it included permanent partition which was granted to them in July 1914

You are inventing history again Jim.

The Unionists were not "totally opposed," they voted for it!

In July 1914 they agreed a temporary not permanent partition.
There was no suggestion of any permanent partition until after the rising, and because of the rising.

You have all your facts completely wrong.
