| Synopsis: |
Redmond's Home Rule Party was overthrown electorally in Cork, eight years before it was defeated in the rest of Ireland. It lost eight of its nine Cork seats in the General Elections of 1910. It was defeated by the All-For-Ireland League - a party which did not believe that John Redmond's strategy of gaining Home Rule through an alliance with the British Liberal Party, and in antagonism with a Tory Party (the Unionist Party as it then was), and with the Ulster Protestant community, could possibly succeed. The All-For-Ireland League, anticipating the failure of Redmondism, tried to set nationalist Ireland on a different course of development. Its watchwords were concilliation and consent. It held that the important thing was to achieve a degree of unity within Ireland as a basis for a development towards independence. Redmondism held the line outside County Cork. After 1916 the All-For-Ireland League threw its influence behind the Sinn Fein movement for independence and helped bring about the general overthrow of Redmondism.The story of that development is told here, against the background of the Parnell Split, and the land purchase movement in which all-Ireland unity was achieved - a unity with political possibilities which this text asserts, were thrown away by Redmondism. |
