Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
WolfeTone set off from Brest on December 16, 1796, with 43 ships and roughly 14,000 soldiers. However, the ships were mishandled and were dispersed by a storm after reaching the coasts of West Cork and Kerry. Tone proposed an Irish invasion plot to Paris again in October 1797, but the main French military leader, Napoleon Bonaparte, was uninterested. When an insurgency broke out in Ireland in May 1798, Tone could only gather enough French men to launch limited attacks around the Irish coast. In September, he was caught at Lough Swilly, Donegal, with 3,000 soldiers.
On November 10, at his trial in Dublin, he courageously declared his everlasting animosity toward England and his willingness to fight "in fair and open battle against England. Eventually, after a failed revolt of 1798 led by Wolfe Tone, Ireland was forcibly incorporated into the United Kingdom in 1801.
The correct statement would be that WolfeTone set off from Brest on December 16, 1796, with 43 ships and roughly 14,000 soldiers.
