"The 1914 Act died a death when nine men decided that what the country needed was a war of independence in 1919,"
No - the act was invalidated and the Home Rule movement collapsed because the government over-rode the promised discussion on how partition should be implemented by unilaterally making it permanent.
No suggestion has ever been made that Easter Week played any part in the collapse of The Home Rule Bill and it's a waste of my time to ask you to verify that claim with anything that resembles actual documented proof because you don't do that sort of thing.
This is all your own work - yet again.
WE appear to have finished with Ireland being conned by foreign powers t claim independence and that it had no claim to be a united nation because of The Normans, so I think we're finished here.
Weather permitting, I'll sum up where we've reached so far and push on to the War of Independence, the Treaty and how the Catholics fared under Unionist rule - if that's all right with you.
You are every bit as boringly predictable as your mate.
