British forces take control of City Hall having re-captured the roof. All rebels remaining in the building are taken prisoner. Under heavy fire the Citizen Army force at St Stephen’s Green take the decision to abandon their exposed positions in the Green and take up new positions in the Royal College of Surgeons. They take to the roof and begin exchanging fire with British forces. Four rebels are confirmed killed in the Green. The Citizen Army located in Stephen’s Green is not only suffering from the threat of bullets but also from intense hunger, with snipers lying in waiting to shoot at the first sign of movement, which cuts off any potential food supply. Overall, Castañeda's time at the Post covered a fascinating inflection point for DC and as a local who arrived in 2007 I appreciated the deep dive into DC's not too distant past. His first flat here was on the 11th floor, but he and his wife, Phyllis, a jeweller’s bookkeeper, moved up in 1994, when a two-bed flat became available. Soon after, she developed Alzheimer’s disease; she died in 2001.
Wolfe, an actor and former model, moved to this one-bed apartment four years ago with her husband, a hedge fund manager. The rent is pricey for what she confesses “feels like a kitchen with a bedroom” (its official 900 sq ft size feels a shade optimistic), but she and her husband are very happy here. He was buried in Springvale Military Cemetery, in Melbourne, on 9 February 1945 with an Australian War Memorial collection photograph capturing the funeral procession. Sunday, then – that calls for a roast beef dinner with Yorkshire puds and loads of gravy at the Jam Jar. It’s another great venue in this area of Swansea, and they too have all sorts going on, from quizzes to live comedy to live performances. We meet Jim, a pastor from Arkansas, who facilitates Castaneda’s spiritual journey. Jim, a white man, erects a church in an open-air drug market on S Street, and eventually earns the respect of the neighborhood boss, “Baldie,” and his corner slingers. Baldie sends his children to the church’s youth programs. The corner boys donate profits and offer protection. While Jim doesn’t condone the drug game, he doesn’t talk to the police. He navigates the situation masterfully. Most importantly, Baldie and his crew sense Jim’s genuine care for the neighborhood and its people. At dawn a messenger from the Kerry Volunteers arrived in Dublin and informed Connolly that Casement had been arrested.Bulmer Hobson uncovers the plans for a Rising, and immediately informs Eoin MacNeill. The two men drive to St Enda’s at midnight and confront Pearse who tells them that they are powerless to stop the Rising from taking place. The fighting has ceased in the Northumberland Road area. It has taken nearly nine hours for the Sherwood Foresters to advance the 300 yards from 25 Northumberland Road to Clanwilliam House. Five rebels have died in the fighting, four have been arrested and a remaining five have evaded arrest. The British put over 1,500 men onto the street during the day and four officers and 216 other ranks have been killed or seriously wounded. The cost of living crisis hitting small businesses comes after the hospitality industry struggled to stay afloat during the Coronavirus pandemic. Civilians trying to escape their homes in Moore Street are being shot by the British. Other civilians are being killed and injured in the crossfire.
The rebels across the city are no longer in communication with their HQ, and are unaware that the GPO has fallen. In the Royal College of Surgeons, the South Dublin Union and the Four Courts the rebels sit tight, whereas in Boland’s Bakery there is discussion of a break out. Throughout the 2010s, the sight of boarded-up shops and to-let signs on the great British high street had become increasingly familiar. As street artists move from the fringe to the mainstream, it’s hard to know who is a true talent and who’s just a flash in the pan. Filled with stunning photography and portraits of each artist, this book identifies twenty rising stars whose imaginative and technically brilliant works are bringing them to the forefront of the genre. A meeting of the Military Council was hastily organised, and the decision taken not to inform MacNeill about Casement’s arrest.

The enemy cease firing and she is called to the barricade at the bottom of Moore Street on Parnell Street. She is taken to 75 Parnell Street (Tom Clarke’s shop) as a prisoner, and held to await the arrival of General Lowe. Dias plans to live out the rest of his days here. “My mind is all there. I went to school up until age 11, and I could still tell you everyone who was in my class. It’s the genes; I’ve got a 90-year-old sister and we have a conversation on the phone. April the first I was born, I was married April 1st and, the way I feel sometimes, I’m gonna snuff it on April 1st. I’ll do the treble.” When he was 17, Tyrese Mhlakaza left the small town near Durban where his single mother had raised him and his siblings, and moved to Johannesburg to start his adult life. “It is the city of dreams,” he says. “I moved here to find work and to survive as a man. It was the first time I had been, and the weirdest thing at first was that there was no beach.”
Jason Gabel, an urban planner at the Chicago-based Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, which keeps a global skyscraper database, says advances in building technology partly explain the trend. Lifts can now travel at more than 40mph and climb for hundreds of metres, thanks to lightweight carbon fibre ropes. Sophisticated dampening systems at the tops of towers mean slender buildings can rise higher, on smaller urban plots, without toppling in a storm or swaying to the point of causing nausea. pm: At the Four Courts along the Liffey a troop from the 5 th and 12 th Lancers was ambushed by Daly’s men, who were the first engage wi th British troops. The troop had been escorting an ammunition convoy along the Nor th Quays when they were forced to take refuge in nearby buildings because of rebel fire.
Success!
O’Farrell arrives at Boland’s Bakery with Pearse’s surrender. De Valera refuses to accept it, stating that with Pearse a prisoner, he is now under the command of MacDonagh. I loved being outside as a child – the views make me feel as if I am,’ says Tyrese Mhlakaza of his home on the 53rd floor of Ponte City in Johannesburg.

The rebel positions appear to be holding, and the number of British casualties rises. A number of civilian dead are also reported. Doctors and nurses from a local hospital have gone to the area to treat the injured.
The rebels are surrounded at Moore Street and various other positions around the city. The British seem content to wait out the night, and the firing across the city has diminished. Fighting does continue around North King Street where the British are still trying to take rebel-held positions. In two days of constant fighting the British have managed to take only 150 yards of the street and have lost 11 men with a further 32 wounded. Taking to the rooftops to try and outflank the Volunteer position at Langan’s Pub, the South Staffordshires leave themselves open to rebel fire from the Four Courts and Monk’s Bakery. Once again they are forced to retreat with increasing frustration and ever-growing hatred for the Volunteers.

Vicar Street
By mid-morning all rebel held positions are surrounded by British troops. Most positions are being shelled, and all locations are seeing intense sniper fire. However the incident is not very well remembered today and surprisingly little propaganda was made out of it, even at the time, by the republican movement. When he did get out of his car, he saw maybe half a dozen police squad cars parked at odd angles. "An officer was already putting up yellow tape around part of a night club. It was a scene of chaos," he says. "And there were no drug dealers in sight. If they had been out that night, then they scattered because of the presence of so many police."
