""The people of Ireland are ready to become a portion of the Empire provided they be made so in reality and not in name alone; they are ready to become a kind of West Briton if made so in benefits and justice; but if not, we are Irishmen again.""

Daniel O'Connell, 1832

Any chance of it becoming a reality by that point? I was quite shocked to hear a nationalist say it so late.
