I wouldn't overstate the popularity of the monarchy or the Union because of support for Home Rule.
Home Rule was advanced as the freedom to achieve freedom without violence.
Remember Parnell's (slightly paraphrased because I'm on my phone) view on it.
"No man may set the bar on a nation's freedom. Say you may advance this far and no further "
Hardly the words of someone advocating for devolution as he end of Irish aspirations.
