What was the 1920 government of Ireland act set up to achieve?

The act was set up to keep both the Catholics and Protestants happy. For example, the Catholics (nationalists) wanted to be under their own government throughout the whole of Ireland, but this meant that they could have the majority of Ireland, and be under their own government, rather than be under a British government. (so they were happy, that they weren't British).
