The devolution can be mainly financial, e.g. giving regions a budget which was formerly administered by central government. However, the power to make legislation relevant to the area may also be granted. See devolved government for more information; for a special case in the United States, see District of Columbia home rule.
In the United Kingdom, devolved government was created in 1998 in the Scottish Parliament, Welsh Assembly and Northern Ireland Assembly. There is also a system of home rule in Denmark for Greenland and the Faroe Islands.

From the late nineteenth century, Irish leaders of the Irish Parliamentary PartyThe Irish Parliamentary Party (IPP) was an political party formed in 1882 under the leadership of Charles Stewart Parnell and others, replacing the Home Rule League. It was instrumental in laying the groundwork for Irish self-government. Following Parnell under Isaac ButtIssac Butt ( September 6, 1813 May 5, 1879) was the founder and first leader of the Home Rule League subsequently known as the Irish Parliamentary Party. He resigned the leadership in 1879 and was replaced by William Shaw, who in turn was replaced by Char, William Shaw and Charles Stewart ParnellCharles Stewart Parnell ( June 27 1846 October 6 1891) was an Irish political leader and one of the most important figures in nineteenth century Ireland and the United Kingdom. William Ewart Gladstone thought him the most remarkable person he had ever met demanded a form of home rule, with the creation of a subsidiary Irish parliament within the United Kingdom. This demand led to the eventual introduction of four Home Rule Bills, of which only two, most notably the Government of Ireland Act 1920An Act to Provide for the Better Government of Ireland more usually the Government of Ireland Act, 1920 (its official short title) was the second act passed by the Parliament of the United Kingdom to provide for Irish home rule.

The home rule demands of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century differed from earlier demands for Repeal by Daniel O'Connell in the first half of the nineteenth century. Whereas home rule meant a subsidiary parliament under Westminster, repeal meant the repeal of the 1801 Act of Union and the creation of an entirely independent Irish state, separated from the United Kingdom, with only a shared monarch joining them both.
In some hierarchical churches, especially Anglican churches including the Church of England, devolution is a bishop's appointment of a person to a benefice (e.g. a parish) when the ordinary patron or collator (i.e. the person or body with the right to appoint) has failed to do so, either because an improper candidate has been nominated or because no candidate could be found.
