Finally got a chance to catch up. This was great in the proper Uhura's Mumby way of looking into Unconsidered Corners of the world, politics and history.
I think the major criticism, as U's M mentioned a couple of pages back, is that it feels as though Britain "just sort of sits there" for events like the fascist takeover of Ireland, the invasion of Ulster, the Ulster Civil War, etc. I understand you want the focus to remain on Ireland, but you might want to justify this more by alluding to events that take Britain's focus away (say a passing mention of Problems in North Africa in WW2, or of Ulster getting sorted one way or the other being required rapidly by a Heath-type government desperate to get into an alt-EEC which will block British entry unless it is).
