Note

See ‘My experiences in the 1916 Rising by Father Columbus OSFC’, pp 30-31. (IE CA IR-1-2-6): ‘I then told him [Thomas MacDonough] that I had seen P.H. Pearse in Arbour Hill Detention Barracks. As he was second in command he asked me to go as his delegate and to demand to have them recognised as prisoners of war; and to get the rights of such. The he wrote down for the several headings he wished me to have seen to. These I proposed to submit to the officer in charge of the barracks, to see what could be immediately righted for them; and then to go on to Dublin Castle. Here is the document as it lies before me’.
