I think that there is a sense of national identity around the currency that many people in the UK do not want to lose. For many years the political right in particular have drummed up resistance to the European Union and tying the country in to the broader economics of the Euro zone. Maybe an economist could give actual financial reasons for not changing the currency but for the general person in the street it seems to be a more emotional issue.

How might currency be a trade barrier?

Every currency is a different value and the currencies compare to each other differently. Currencies are always changing. The problem is called currency devaluation. A trade barrier is that if a dollar falls, stocks fall and prices change. One day the item's cost might be one amount and a month later the item costs way more. Also, having to convert one currency to another takes time to complete the transaction. Converting between multiple currencies takes even longer.

Why might Britain have been more reluctant to grant home rule to Ireland than to its other colonies?

Britain was more reluctant to grant home rule to Ireland due to a combination of historical, political, and religious factors. Unlike many other colonies, Ireland was geographically close to Britain, which heightened fears of potential rebellion and instability. Additionally, the strong presence of a Protestant majority in the north, who opposed Irish nationalism, complicated the issue and led to concerns over sectarian conflict. The desire to maintain control and prevent the fragmentation of the United Kingdom ultimately influenced Britain's hesitance in granting home rule to Ireland.
