  1. EasterRising 1916 (Friday 28th) By Seán andMichéal

  2. Friday 28th April 1916 On Friday the Fingal Volunteers, then the 5th Battalion of the Dublin Brigade, under Commandant Tomas Ashe, carried out a most successful action at Ashbourne, County Meath. Here 48 Volunteers, in a five-hour battle, out-fought and completely defeated a force of about 70 Royal Irish Constabulary.

  3. More from Friday 28th April 1916 • At eight o clock on Friday evening 28 April 1916, with the GPO engulfed in flames, the forces of the newly formed Irish Republic retreated from the building and endeavoured to make their way to the Four Courts' Garrison. They left the GPO by the side entrance in Henry Street and made their way, under constant sniper fire, to Moore Lane.

  4. Battle on North King Street • Many of the houses here were knocked down, but some houses and buildings remain. The Irish Volunteers occupied a public house at the junction of North King St that was called Reilly’s. It still stands, but under a different name. • The Capuchin hall, where Comdt Edward Daly set up his headquarters, is also standing. Also near the Four Courts was a medical mission, where a group of British lancers took shelter after being intercepted making their way up the quays. This building still stands today.

  5. The end • God bless Ireland!
