The year of the French 1796 (Ireland)
" Wolfe Tone's efforts succeeded with the dispatch of the Expédition d'Irlande, and he accompanied a force of 14,000 French veteran troops under General Hoche which arrived off the coast of Ireland at Bantry Bay in December 1796 after eluding the Royal Navy."

Instead of being driven back by bad weather the French land troops and with more French troops on the way the Irish rebellion succeeds.
Ireland is declared a republic.
How would this change the rest of Irish history?
