Footnotes

The brainchild of Patrick Pearse, the Irish War News was printed by Joe Stanley, a well-known republican. Armed with a revolver given to them by James Connolly, Stanley and several others stormed the premises of a printer on Halston Street, and set to work. On the final page, a "Stop Press" section announces that "the Irish Republic has been declared in Dublin, and a Provisional Government has been appointed to administer its affairs."
