Ginnell 1917-18
Ginnell did not resign from the Commons on joining Sinn Fein in 1917. His last speech in the Commons was in June 1917 and after he must have become an abstentionist, but in March 1918 the Dublin Police wrote to the Speaker to inform him they had arrested an MP.

Bias re: Ranch War
"In reality, the Ranch War involved an implosion within sectors of the Irish Party, as its leadership had not facilitated the working of the Wyndham Land Purchase Act in the first place because John Dillon and his like wanted conflict above victory." This seems like a very biased statement to include as an objectively stated fact, with only one source. I find it hard to think any politician or party can be neutrally, objectively declared to "want conflict above victory", so this is a very disputable statement to me, about this or any case. This should be proven with more sources, or else be rewritten to either include other perspectives, or to state this is only one opinion by certain people.
