The Irish question relates to Britains problem of how to rule Ireland. It was expensive to police and it was believed that a level of Home rule would quiten things down. However Ulster Unionists were opposed to anything they felt would be a stepping stone towards an Irish republic. The obvious answer was partition of the country between north and south but Irish nationalists were vehemently opposed to this. In the end the country was partitioned but instead of the whole 8 counties of Northern Ireland 6 were separated. This was done to ensure a unionist monopoly of power over the northern state. The rest of the country gained dominion status and went on to form a republic.
