Ah you mean people wouldn't be allowed to wander round, that's possibly why YOU mentioned:

"As to a consensus Rags who was it the citizens of Dublin were cheering as they hauled that gun through the streets? When food supplies started to run low throughout the city who was it that opened the warehouses and distributed food to where it was needed? Give you a hint it certainly was not Pearse, Connolly & Co."

Or perhaps it was why you mentioned:

"Dubliners cheered the British troops dragging the 1 pounder gun landed from the Helga into position to fire on the rebels"

The SAME gun that later fired in the direction of "rebel" fire.

Your "facts" don't add up do they.
