Third Irish Home Rule BILL introduced in April 1912

Third Irish Home Rule Bill goes through its readings in both Commons and Lords. Finally in July 1914 agreement is reached by all parties via an proposed Amendment Bill that guarantees the Unionists a six year exclusion from Government from Dublin. This Amendment Bill is abandoned in August 1914 when Britain goes to war with Germany. The Home Rule Bill introduced in 1912 however becomes the Home Rule ACT in September 1914 with the understanding that what was previously agreed still remains to be formalised to allow the Act to be made fact. Nothing else is done between the declaration of war and the rising instigated by seven fanatical members of the IRB. Their "Rising" set up from start to finish to FAIL impresses who in what quarters? The Republicans to push ahead and the Unionists to dig in against it. That Raggytash is how decisions taken in 1916 wrecked something that was put in motion in 1912, which became Law in 1914.
