Irish Dominion League aims to solve Irish crisis
Sir Horace Plunkett leads a revived Irish movement with the Irish Dominion League to push self government within the Empire. Founding members include Earl of Fingall, A M Sullivan, Sir Thomas Gratton Esmonde, and others as the group seeks a peaceful path different from Sinn Fein extremes. The league rejects a republic and envisions an Irish parliament with an Irish executive and full internal control while remaining in the British Empire. It calls on Ulster Unionists to specify safeguards and pledges to work within imperial structures if needed.
