| | John Redmond - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | John Redmond was born in County Wexford in Ireland in 1856. | | | A later Irish Taoiseach (prime minister), John Bruton, hung a painting of Redmond, whom he regarded, because of his commitment to non-violence, as his hero, in his office in Ireland's Leinster House Government Buildings. | | | With the Lords' veto gone under the Parliament Act 1911, Irish home rule (which the Lords had blocked in 1894) again became a possibility, the odds increasing when the Irish Parliamentary Party came to hold the balance of power after the 1910 general election. |

| | Unionists (Ireland) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Irish Unionism received the support in the period from the 1880s to 1914 from leading British Conservative politicians, notably Lord Randolph Churchill and future British prime minister Andrew Bonar Law. | | | One of the strangest events in Northern Ireland is that the anti-Catholic right-wing Protestant leader of the Democratic Unionist Party, the Rev. Ian Paisley, attracts some Catholic votes in his constituency in elections to the British and European Parliaments (he serves in both). | | | The Ulster Unionist Party now has Catholic members; one of its most respected MLAs (Member of the power-sharing Legislative Assembly) is Catholic. |

| | Irish Parliamentary Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Each member was required to swear an oath to sit, act and vote with the party, one of the first instances of a whip in western politics. | | | The 1916 Easter Rising and the British reaction to it, and the clumsy attempt at conscription radicalised Irish politics to such an extent that the IPP lost almost all of their seats in the 1918 general election to the more militant Sinn Féin, and was dissolved. | | | In particular the Local Government Act abolished the old landlord-dominated Grand Juries and replaced them by forty-nine county, urban and rural district councils, managed by Irish people for the administration of local affairs. |

| | In 1880, the radical Parnell was elected chairman of the party, and in the 1880 general election, the party increased its number of seats. | | | In 1873, the loose association re-constituted itself as a full political party, the Home Rule League, and in the 1874 general election, it won 59 seats. | | | The party under Parnell, himself a protestant, became more radical, middle class and Roman Catholic. |

| | Ireland's OWN: History |
| | The election effectively marked the end of the Irish Parliamentary Party (IPP) and the entrance onto the political stage of Sinn Féin, a party which, prior to 1917, represented the political opinion of a minority within a minority in Irish politics. | | | The consolidation of a new, reconstituted, republican Sinn Féin took place at the party’s convention in October 1917, where the rivals, Griffith and Plunkett, withdrew from the race for presidency resulting in de Valera’s unanimous election to lead the organisation. | | | Such a protracted amount of time in a monopoly position over parliamentary issues meant that the party seemed to have an impregnable grip on Irish affairs in relation to Britain (and ultimately the fate of the national question lay with them) due to their complete dominance in the sphere of Irish politics. |

| | Under his leadership, the Irish Parliamentary Party became perhaps the first professionally organised political party anywhere in Britain and Ireland. | | | Parnell's unified Irish block came to dominate British politics, making and unmaking Liberal and Conservative governments in the mid 1880s as it fought for home rule (internal self government within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland) for Ireland. | | | The young Parnell studied at Magdalene College, Cambridge and in 1874 became high sheriff of his home county of Wicklow. |

| | The Irish delegation was led by Arthur Griffith, after de Valera, newly upgraded to a full 'President of the Republic' by the Dáil on his request in August 1921, then insisted that as head of state he could not attend of King George was not leading the British delegation. | | | The party went on to win a clear majority of seats in the 1918 general election, though most were uncontested. | | | On the day in January 1919 this new unofficial parliament assembled in the Mansion House in Dublin (where it elected a prime minister (called Priomh Áire and held initially by Cathal Brugha[?]) and a ministry called the Áireacht) the first shots in the Irish War of Independence were fired. |

| | It is clear by the results of the election that the Irish Parliamentary Party had virtually died by 1918. | | | However, in the 6 North Eastern counties Sinn Fein and the IPP co-operated with each other in order to ensure that they did not lose vital Ulster seats to Unionists on a split vote. | | | What was happening in Ireland should have compelled the interest of the British government, for Irish revolutionary fervour was about to ignite a war of national liberation. |

| | The fall of Parnell and the temporary split in the Irish Parliamentary Party that he had led did not prevent a second attempt at Home Rule, but this second Bill failed as a result of defeat in the House of Lords. | | | That controversial issue, however, did not immediately affect Ireland on the Liberal return to power at Westminster; the Liberals had been returned with a landslide election victory, and did not need to depend on the votes of the reunited Irish Parliamentary Party under John Redmond. | | | A tired Gladstone retired, and soon after, the Liberals were again replaced by a Unionist government. |
