 Home Rule Act 1914 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was eventually replaced by a Fourth Home Rule Act, the Government of Ireland Act 1920, which gave Home Rule to six counties in the northeast (Northern Ireland) and (nominally) to twenty-six counties in the west and south (so-called "Southern Ireland").
The Liberals held on to government, and with the agreement both of the late king, Edward VII and the new king, George V threatened to swamp the Lords with sufficient new Liberal peers to give the Government a majority.
The Act was enacted and received Royal Assent on 18 September 1914 thereby establishing that "on and after the appointed day there shall be in Ireland an Irish Parliament of HM the King and two houses, namely, the Irish Senate and the Irish House of Commons".

 History of the Northern Ireland Parliament
The Parliament of Northern Ireland was established by the Government of Ireland Act 1920, a piece of legislation that was intended to establish a partition of Ireland and create two devolved Parliaments within the United Kingdom.
However the institutions of the Parliament of Southern Ireland were stillborn: none of the seats in the Southern Ireland House of Commons were contested and Sinn Féin won all the territorial constituencies.
The Government of Ireland Act prescribed that elections to the House of Commons be by the single transferable vote, though the Parliament was given power to alter the electoral system from three years after its first meeting.

 Guardian Unlimited | Special reports | Q&A: the Parliament Act
The 1949 act stemmed from the Lords' rejection of the Labour government's plans to nationalise the steel industry.
Doubts have long been expressed about the validity of the 1949 legislation because the 1911 act was used to force its successor on to the statute book; unlike the 1911 act, the later version was never agreed by the Lords.
The 1911 act was used to push through the Government of Ireland Act 1914, the Welsh Church Act 1914 and, of course, the Parliament Act 1949.

 Government Interventionism in Ireland, Part 2   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Government interventionism, of one form or another, was the dominant creed in the early 20th century, and Ireland’s intellectuals, like so many others around the world, succumbed to the belief in salvation through government control.
Unfortunately, it is precisely the craving for government control that made their hopes for self-determination so unappealing to a significant minority of their population, the very people whose cooperation they required to make a peaceful departure from British control.
This was completely contrary to the views of Ireland’s socialists, who wanted to expropriate the private property of Protestant industrialists in their class war, or, at the very least, indirectly commandeer a large percentage of their earnings by curtailing their ability to trade in world markets.

 A. V. Dicey: Law of the Constitution
The Act as assented to by the King was in substance identical with the Bill sent up to the House of Lords in the first of the three sessions on January 16, 1913.
He governs with a loose rein, that he may govern at all; and the whole of the force and vigour of his authority in the centre is derived from a prudent relaxation in all his borders.
The immense importance attached by modern thinkers to representative government is partly accounted for by its being almost the sole constitutional discovery or invention unknown to the citizens of Athens or of Rome.

 NORTHERN IRELAND - Simply... a brief history of Britain's 'adventures' in Ireland
Ireland becomes a colonial economy, run by a small Protestant landowning caste who extract rent from the peasants in the form of foodstuffs and export it to England.
Britain’s political response is the Better Government of Ireland Act of 1920, which divides Ireland in two (the three most Catholic counties in Ulster are left out of the new statelet to ensure a Protestant majority).
Northern Ireland is now a province of the UK but is ruled by its own parliament, Stormont, which is dominated by Protestants not just because the border was designed to leave them in a two-to-one majority but also because they use every means to entrench and expand their power at Catholics’ expense.

By 1914, this issue was at an impasse, with the British government prepared to concede Home Rule or self government to Ireland.
The Government of Ireland Act 1914, more generally known as the Third Home Rule Act, was an Act of Parliament passed by the British Parliament in May 1914 which sought to give Ireland regional self-government within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
Under the terms of the Anglo-Irish agreement of 6 December 1921, which ended the war (1919-1921), Northern Ireland was given the option of withdrawing from the new state, the Irish Free State, and remaining part of the United Kingdom.

The establishment of Northern Ireland as a separate political unit was contrary to the desire of the great majority of Irish people for the political unity and sovereignty of Ireland as expressed in the last all-Ireland election of 1918.
The acts of murder and violence of these organisations, and their denial of the legitimate rights of others, have the effect of undermining all efforts to secure peace and political progress.
