Ireland: A Television History

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

A series of 13 programmes, written and presented by Robert Kee 7: Ulster Will Fight
In 1914, in the climax of 30 years of opposition to the idea of home rule, Sir Edward Carson , the leader of the Ulster Unionists, brought the United Kingdom to the verge of civil war in defiance of a Home Rule Act that would have put Ulster under an Irish national parliament in Dublin. The Unionists took as their slogan ' Ulster will fight and Ulster will be right'.
As Irish nationalist feeling revived, opponents and supporters of Home Rule both ran guns into Ireland. Conflict was only averted by the outbreak of the Great War.
