When Cormac faced a difficult lawsuit, the secret of the stone was revealed to him by http://www.answers.com/topic/cl-dna, a spirit-patron of the family.

What caused British government to formally join Ireland to Britain in 1801?
The simple answer is: England conquered Ireland by force and kept it.
~ Monarchs of Ireland
Ruaidri Ua Conchobair, inaugurated at Dublin, spring 1166. Died 1198. He was the last native to be widely recognised as monarch of Ireland.
Henry VIII of England (1542--1547); Lord of Ireland, (1509--1542)
Edward VI of England, (1547--1553)
Mary I of England, (1553--1558)
Elizabeth I of England, (1558--1603)
Following the death of Queen Elizabeth I, King James VI of Scotland also became King James I of England - holding the separate titles King of England, King of Scotland and King of Ireland.
In 1707, under the reign of Queen Anne , the Act of Union united the crowns of England and Scotland and the country became "The Kingdom of Great Britain." Wales was still included in Great Britain and the monarch held the title "King (or Queen) of Ireland" separately.
In January 1801, under the reign of King George III, the crown of Ireland was united and the country then became "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland" - still including Wales and Scotland.
~ change of Irish Catholic land ownership
Cromwell and his army landed Ireland in 1649. By 1652 Cromwell controlled the whole country and passed "The Settling of Ireland Act". Under this, the entire Irish nation was deemed guilty of treason. Unless you could prove that you had fought for parliament, your land was confiscated, and used to pay Cromwell's debts.
After difficult negotiations a capitulation was signed on 3 October 1691---the Treaty of Limerick. This concluded the Williamite pacification of Catholic Ireland.
Out of 20 million acres in Ireland, 11 million were confiscated. There was a pronounced trend towards protestant domination of land ownership, and by 1700 Catholics owned only 1/8 of all land, and furthermore could only buy two acres each by law.
~ Irish civil war
The Irish Declaration of Independence was a document adopted on 21 January 1919. It was followed by Irish War of Independence in which Michael Collins was the main driving force. After Collins' death in August 1922, the new Irish Free State quietly ended its overt violent aggression towards Northern Ireland.
On 6 December 1922, following the coming into legal existence of the Irish Free State, W. T. Cosgrave became President of the Executive Council, the first internationally recognised head of an independent Irish government. The civil war ended in mid-1923 in defeat for the anti-treaty side.
The island of Ireland is now partitioned into the southern counties of Ireland, "The Republic of Ireland" and the six northern counties, "Northern Ireland" which is one of the four countries of the United Kingdom.
