Description
Fragment copy typescript draft of [article] by [Hagan]; incipit 'The constitutional and parliamentary history of Ireland...'. Following up on the pamphlet Home Rule [1913] and one 'on the Irish insurrection of 1916' [O'Riordan's La recente insurrezione], offering a discussion of 'the attempted revival of that movement and its fate'. Describing the external pressure forcing the British government to organise a convention for Ireland; quoting Redmond for its planned scope; describing its make-up. Condemning the fact that Lloyd George demanded more than the substantial majority to pursue self-government for Ireland, which failed through Ulster Unionist opposition. Discussion of the deadlock the convention reached, drawing on correspondence from the Bishop of Down and Connor. Detailed account of Lloyd George's conscription plans for Ireland meeting opposition in parliament, and particularly by the joint action in April [1918] of the Irish political parties (without the Unionists) and the Irish hierarchy; quoting from their pronouncements and charting the actions taken that drew on public support such as the boycotting of consignment of the Irish National Defence Fund. Breaks off with the day of National Protest 23 April: 'the demeanor of the people was admirable, and no untoward incident marred the effectiveness of the proceedings'.
