Just who wanted dominion home rule: ‘Moderates’ and the Irish War of Independence
This article discusses political ‘moderates’, those individuals who reacted to the turmoil of the War of Independence by coalescing around a vision of a dominion of Ireland within the British Empire, with appropriate safeguards for minorities. It will consider how reformist gentry, parliamentary and former unionist elements came together to bring about their preferred settlement. Through statistical examination of the membership of the Irish Domi…
Protestant Home Rulers and Constitutional Nationalism in Ireland, c .1900–1914
This article assesses the role played by Protestants in the constitutional nationalist (or home rule) movement between the reunification of the Irish Parliamentary Party (IPP) in 1900, and the end of the third home rule crisis in 1914. The IPP leadership took a favourable view of Protestant members, viewing them as a means of demonstrating that the movement represented the whole of Ireland, and intending that upper-class and professional Protesta…

Protestant Nationalists in Ireland, 1900–1923
From the turn of the twentieth century until the end of the Irish Civil War, Protestant nationalists forged a distinct counterculture within an increasingly Catholic nationalist movement. Drawing on a wide range of primary and secondary sources, Conor Morrissey charts the development of nationalism within Protestantism, and describes the ultimate failure of this tradition. The book traces the re-emergence of Protestant nationalist activism in the…
Rotten Protestants: Protestant Home Rulers and the Ulster Liberal Association, 1906–1918
This article assesses ‘Rotten Protestants’, or Protestant home rulers in Ulster, by means of an analysis of the Ulster Liberal Association, from its founding in 1906 until its virtual disappearance by 1918. It argues that Ulster Liberalism has been neglected or dismissed in Irish historiography, and that this predominantly Protestant, pro-home rule organization, with its origins in nineteenth-century radicalism, complicates our understanding of t…
Protestant Nationalists and the Irish Conscription Crisis, 1918
The Great War had an enormous effect on Irish politics and society.At least 210,000 Irishmen fought in the war.2There were an estimated 35,000 casualties.3The outbreak of war in Europe deferred the implementation of the Third Home Rule Bill, which ultimately ruined hopes of a parliamentary solution to the prolonged Irish constitutional crisis.It provoked a split in the Irish Volunteers, which resulted in the smaller faction launching the Easter R…

Much the more political of the two: Mabel FitzGerald and the Irish revolution
This article offers an assessment of the career and ideology of the Irish republican and Cumann na mBan activist Mabel FitzGerald, née McConnell (1884–1958). From a staunchly Unionist Belfast Presbyterian family, Mabel converted to republicanism while an undergraduate in the early 1900s. In 1911 she eloped with Desmond FitzGerald, a Catholic poet. The couple became prominent nationalist activists, and participated in the Easter Rising. In 1922 De…
