Homework Tuesday 23rd February
Wednesday 26 April, 1916
By Wednesday morning, the military authorities have a better picture of the extent of the opposition they are facing and are now in a position to start putting down the rising. The deployment of artillery on the streets of Dublin proves to be a turning point for the military as it is now possible to literally demolish rebel positions. James Connolly had believed that artillery would never be used in this way because of the damage it would cause to the property of wealthy employers. The events of Wednesday are to prove him wrong and from now on the military outcome of the rising is not in doubt.
The first target for this artillery is Liberty Hall. Early on Wednesday morning, the gunship Helga anchors close to the Custom House and begins firing on Liberty Hall. Since the Lockout of 1913, the military and many of Dublin's employers have viewed the ITGWU (trade union) as little more than trouble makers. They believe that Connolly and his Irish Citizen Army have to be involved in the rising. The firing on Liberty Hall continues for sometime with the presence of the Butt Bridge preventing any real damage to the building. Eventually, the gunners find their target causing major damage to the building and surrounding tenements. Unknown to the military, Liberty Hall is deserted apart from a caretaker who emerges and runs for his life.
The military now step up its attacks paying particular attention to buildings which it believes have been taken over by rebels. One such building is Kelly's Fishing Tackle Shop on the corner of O Connell Street. The location of this building overlooking the quays makes it ideal for snipers. Using its superior firepower and numbers, the military are able to deal effectively with this threat. In spite of the ongoing danger, some civilians venture out to see what is happening. Looting continues between any lulls in the fighting.
Fierce fighting continues across Dublin. The military continues in its strategy of isolating these pockets of resistance. Areas around the Four Courts, the College of Surgeons, the South Dublin Union (St. James' Hospital) and Mount Street Bridge see some of the heaviest fighting. Meanwhile, British reinforcements continue to arrive at Kingstown (Dun Laoire). One such group, the Sherwood Foresters, are pleasantly surprised when they are greeted by well wishers on arrival in Kingstown. They commence to march on foot to Dublin coming under heavy fire from buildings near Mount Street Bridge. They are ordered forward by their commander even though they are unprepared for such an ambush. They suffer heavy casualties.
Inside the GPO, the deployment of artillery onto the streets of Dublin means that the relative calm of the previous two days has ended abruptly. There can be no doubt now about the intentions of the military. Despite this spirits remain high and there is still contact between the different rebel positions.

PLANS FOR A RISING
Saturday April 22, 1916 and Sunday April 23, 1916
The leadership of the IRB have planned a rising for Easter Sunday. The aim is to have a ship from Germany called the Aud land 20,000 rifles in Kerry sometime before Sunday. These weapons will then be distributed to the Irish Volunteers around the country who are scheduled to meet on Sunday under the pretext of holding a training session. The intention is that a nationwide uprising will then take place with the hope, perhaps, of further military assistance from Germany. All of these plans are being kept secret from Eoin MacNeill, leader of the Irish Volunteers.
Problems emerge when the Aud fails to make contact with the IRB in Kerry. The ship is eventually challenged by the British Navy and the captain has no choice but to sink the Aud and her cargo of weapons on Easter Saturday. Roger Casement, one of those responsible for importing the arms, is also captured by the police. In a further blow, Eoin MacNeill becomes aware of plans for the rising. He is angry that the Irish Volunteers are being used in this way and places a newspaper advertisement cancelling Sunday's 'parades'.
There is widespread confusion amongst the volunteers with most now believing that Sunday's meeting has been cancelled. Without the turn out of the Irish Volunteers and the weapons on board the scuttled Aud, the prospects for Sunday's planned rising do not look very good. The leaders meet, unsure as to whether to postpone the rising to another time. However, despite the setbacks they decide to press ahead and reschedule the rising for Easter Monday.
