The same reason why any country wants to be independent from another: they wanted to be free. They had ruled themselves for some time, and after all of Ireland's famines and Parnell's campaign for "Home Rule" in the 1900s, the fight for autonomy was greater. In 1921, the Anglo-Irish Treaty was signed, giving them complete independence in their home affairs and foreign policy. But this is also what sparked the civil war against Northern Ireland.
