The "Irish Question" refers generally to the issue of "Who governs Ireland?" "How it is governed?" etc. From 1801 to 1921 it was an integrated part of the U.K. Agitation for "home rule." In the late 1800s/early 1900s it was supported by Catholics and resisted by Protestant unionists. Compromise led to the partition in 1921 and the current situation where no-one is really satisfied. But that's compromise!

AnswerThe Irish Question regards Britain's internal dispute of how to deal with the Irish uprisings and calls for independence from Britain. This ended in the separation of Northern Ireland (UK) and mainland Ireland. Northern Ireland is now a part of the United Kingdom, while mainland Ireland remains independent. The push for independence began in 1916 and ended with the Irish Civil War in 1921.

This definition for "Irish Question" I got from Wikipedia: The Online Encyclopedia.
