11.00hrs - BREAKING NEWS! An extraordinary advertisement in today's Independent Newspaper – its purpose is completely uncertain. Authorities appear complacent.
14.30hrs - The Irish Citizen Army is assembling at Liberty Hall in Dublin's Beresford Place. There appears to be great furore inside the building with messengers running in and out since this morning. Cars and bicycles have been seen speeding around the city in various directions. Something very unusual seems to be unfolding. The building has been under constant surveillance over the last few weeks, but it appears that today, the attentions of the authorities lie elsewhere.
16.45hrs - The Citizen Army continues the route march it embarked on earlier today. Over 200 of its members left headquarters earlier and embarked on a march throughout the city. Having recently passed Dublin Castle, to numerous taunts and gasps, its ranks now line Dublin's southern quays opposite the Four Courts. At this point it appears to be an exercise. All members are carrying full pack, with bayonets fixed to their rifles.
