The correct spelling is Cumann na mBan. Countess Markievicz was Constance Gore-Booth; Eva was her sister. Also Collins Barracks is named after Michael Collins and was called Victoria Barracks at the time.
The "Strabane and Omagh" you're drawing there (apart from Omagh town) corresponds to the North Tyrone Stormont constituency which was designed to have a Unionist majority; the surrounding areas - Glenelly, Carrickmore and the Sperrins to the east, the area around Aghyaran to the west - are much...
Strabane was always unredrawable as Unionist-controlled even under the ratepayer franchise (the 1898 wards survived until the demise of that version of local government in 1973). The closest ward in 1911 was North Urban which was still over 60% Catholic; East Urban was 90%+ and the other two...

Irish and Scottish Gaelic spelling is more logical than English, once you understand the rules. The problem is that you're trying to fit two sets of consonants (palatalised and velarised like Russian) into an alphabet without diacritics (well, we used to have diacritics for consonants, such as...
There wasn't a "Roman Catholic vote" on the issue for reasons which should be obvious given 18th century Irish history. You're referring to the two votes of the (exclusively Anglican) Irish Parliament, the first before and the second after a considerable number of palms had been greased.
The Nationalist Party in the North was essentially the continuation of the IPP (or its constituency organisation) and lingered on until 1969. The equivalent in the South was the National League, which mutated into the National Centre Party, which in turn folded into Fine Gael in 1933, with a...
One other point about your putative IPP leadership is that Devlin and his West Belfast Nationalist ghetto politics was always an anomaly within the IPP (I'm not sure that the AOH were that much of a factor outside Ulster, where they acted as a counterpoint and counterweight to the OO). A more...
