Britain was never going to give home rule; their continued occupation of the north illustrates that.

I’d rather have Germany review Ireland’s budget than Britain; Germany invested heavily in Ireland over the past 20 years while Britain wanted to keep it as a giant pasture. Ireland’s rebellion wasn’t communist, regardless of what revisionists may say.

Propaganda. Home Rule was a duly-passed Act of Parliament and the only thing that interrupted it was Germany starting WWI. If not for the 1916 rebellion, that act would have gone into force as soon as WWI ended. So it was the rebels that destroyed Home Rule.

Completely false dilemma, “Germany versus Britain”. I take it you don’t believe in an independent Ireland?

It’s absolutely not revisionism that Ireland’s Easter Rising was communistic in nature. Even Lenin called it a communistic revolution, attacking critics of it by saying “no revolution is perfect”. Ignoring James Connolly’s writings on the matter is putting one’s head in the sand.
