Understanding this quote

The speaker presents the movement’s immediate goal as securing Ireland for the Irish people. “Under any form” means this goal matters regardless of the political arrangement or system through which Ireland is governed. The focus is therefore on Irish ownership or control, rather than on one specific form of government.
