We know that the entire island of Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, and there's a large Celtic-speaking region in the southwest, but what would Ireland look like today had that not been the case? What was the key to getting the island to stay entirely within the UK? What's your favorite part of our Ireland?
 
Well if I remember from the history books, a big part of it was the Home Rule Bill being actioned on in 1914. If Westminster had held it in abeyance due to the outbreak the Great War, or however that word's spelt, then I'm sure that millitants like De Valera would have used it as an excuse to rebel.
