Hence the Home Rule bill.As for its position the Act of Union more or less made Ireland a state of England in the same way Scotland and Wales are. There was no longer Britain and Ireland. There was no 'The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland'. This remained that way until 1927!Britain now had complete control over Ireland in all shapes and forms. Although the Viceroy (person in charge of looking after Ireland) was often absent and the country was run quite badly in comparison to mainland England.
