Dublin Agreement 1903 (Edward the Ripper)

The Dublin Agreement 1903 (Irish: Comhaontú Dublin 1903) was the result of an internationally recognised summit that negotiated the independence of the Dominion of Ireland from the then United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland after significant civil progress during the Viceroyalty of Ireland. Following the agreement Ireland formally structured itself and prepared for home rule while flags were lowered and replaced by St. Patrick's Saltaire. A disgruntled nationalist is said to have remarked, "They're taking it down to put it right back up."
