In 1913 Figgis began to focus on the literary and political situations in Ireland. As a writer he published on Irish nationality. Along with Roger Casement (1864-1916) and Alice Stopford Green (1847-1929), he was involved in the importing of arms leading to the Howth gun-running incident. Following the Rising he was arrested and consequently imprisoned in England.
