Synopsis

Home Rule Problems examines the political and religious tensions surrounding Ireland’s move toward self-government.

This collection analyzes how Protestants and Catholics might coexist under a Home Rule framework, with practical considerations for governance and policy.

The essays look at safeguards, education, taxation, and the balance of power between church and state. Readers will encounter arguments about minority rights, the influence of clergy, and how an Irish Parliament could address money, taxation, and public services without provoking religious conflict.

• How safeguards for minorities might work in a new political system
• Questions about education control and secular administration
• Economic and fiscal considerations in a post‑Union Ireland
• Predictions on party divisions and the role of religion in politics

Ideal for readers of modern political history, constitutional debates, and studies of Ireland’s national question.
