	Devolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The issue of Irish home rule was the dominant political question of British politics at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries.
		This demand led to the eventual introduction of four Irish Home Rule Bills, of which only the last two were approved by the British Parliament, and only the final one was enacted: the Government of Ireland Act 1920.
		The home rule demands of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century differed from earlier demands for Repeal by Daniel O'Connell in the first half of the nineteenth century.
