Jim, the are 43 http in my posts (out of 56).

You still have not even attempted to explain how a Home Rule Bill where both of the parties wre diametrically opposed to each other

They were not diametrically opposed.
Agreement was reached.
Read about the passage of the Act Jim.

Nor have you givenen us evidence that The Easter Rising had any effect on this -

Does it need explanation?
Do you think the Unionists welcomed it? Do you imagine that their position would remain unchanged after that?
Do not be so silly and ignorant Jim!

No they ****** weren't - one side wanted temporary partition -

Yes they did, and the Nationalists agreed to that compromise. They voted for the Bill and it was passed into law.

the other refused - how was that "settled"?

They did not refuse. Again, read about the passage of the Act Jim.

Yo asked for examples of you being proved wrone - you've now got about half of them

What I stated were facts. You have not read or understood the passage of the 1914 Act. It was you who have got it all wrong.

Wiki,
" In 1914 after the third reading, the Bill was passed by the Commons on 25 May 1914 by a majority of 77. Having been defeated a third time in the Lords, the Government used the provisions of the Parliament Act to override the Lords and send it for Royal Assent."
