    John Redmond was first elected as an MP in 1881 and suffered early in his career for supporting Parnell. By 1892, Redmond led a small group of only 9 MPs. Redmond's cooperation with Conservatives was criticized by some Nationalists but resulted in progress like the Department of Agriculture and 1898 Local Government Act. Redmond became the leader of the Irish Parliamentary party in 1900. The third home-rule bill for Ireland passed the House of Commons in 1912 but Redmond's ambition was blocked by opposition from Ulster. World War I caused further problems for the home-rule bill and Redmond died in 1918 before seeing Ireland become independent.

    John Redmond was first elected to the house of

    commons in 1881, as MP for Waterford. He suffered


    because he supported Parnell. By 1892, Redmond was
    the leader of a group with only 9 Parnellite MP’s.
    Redmond’s cooperaFon with the ConservaFves was
    condemned by many NaFonalists, but it produced
    results. This led to the development of the Department
    of agriculture, and they introduced the local
    government act (1898). In 1900, John Redmond was
    elected leader of the Irish Parliamentary party. In 1911
    the parliament act diluted the power of the house of
    lords to veto new laws passed by the house of
    commons. The third home-rule was introduced on the
    11th of April 1912. However, Redmond’s ambiFon was
    about to hit and immovable object. Ulster solemn
    league and covenant. World War I cause problems for
    the home-rule bill and when Redmond died in 1918, he
    didn’t get to see Ireland as a free country.
