	Home Rule Act 1914 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Government of Ireland Act 1914, more generally known as the Third Home Rule Act (or Bill) or the (Irish) Home Rule Act 1914, was an Act of Parliament passed by the British House of Commons in May 1914 which granted Ireland national self-government within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
		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").
		In the 1870s the Home Rule League under Isaac Butt sought to achieve a modest form of self-government, known as Home Rule.

	Paper 1
		Home rule was a huge part of the political life in Ireland, which meant that the Irish Parliament would be restored for most issues, but the British government would still cover many important areas (Conflict 3).
		Home Rule was known as the "transferring vagueness" which enabled the most extreme nationalists, as well as the most moderate, to invest the term with their own meaning.
		The most significant weakness of the Home Rule schemes was the failure to cater for the specific interests of Protestant north-east Ulster; and it was from that quarter that the most strenuous opposition to Home Rule came in the pre-war period (Ireland 34).
