NotesSurveys the IRISH INDEPENDENT's coverage of the Ulster Crisis between 1912 and 1921. Themes include - Winston Churchill's visit to Belfast in 1912, when he was forcibly prevented from speaking at the Ulster Hall - the Ulster Volunteers (ridiculed as bluff) - the Curragh Mutiny (includes a reference to a previously neglected speech by the Irish C-in-C, General Paget, just before the Mutiny declaring that the Army would put down Ulster resistance if asked to do so) - the INDEPENDENT's increasingly vociferous criticisms of the Irish Party's handling of the partition issue from 1914, its role in rousing up opposition to the attempted partition-based settlement of 1916 and its support for the subsequent campaign by its proprietor William Martin Murphy for all-Ireland Dominion Home Rule.
