The Home Rule movement led by Charles Parnell was an attempt to re-establish an Irish parliament to be responsible for internal affairs. William Gladstone eventually became convinced of the need for Irish independence and in 1886 he made the first attempt to persuade Parliament to pass a Home Rule Bill. The bill that proposed an Irish Parliament in Dublin was defeated in the House of Commons. The proposal split the party and Parliament rejected the measure.
William Gladstone was defeated in the polls in the 1886 General Election but was once again elected to office in 1892. The following year the Irish Home Rule Bill was passed in the House of Commons but was defeated in the House of Lords.Gladstone tried again in 1893 but it again failed to get through Parliament.
In this Punch cartoon, Harry Furniss shows William Gladstone trying
to persuade his Cabinet to support his proposed Home Rule Bill in 1893.
