"The link I posted has fires being started in Sackville Street around 20:30hrs on the 24th April and at that time no artillery had been brought up"
Every single example of "no artillery" was directly taken from the link you posted - nowhere else.
I didn't "forget to mentioning" that conscription was never enacted - it's common knowledge and has been mentioned several times
It was a permanent threat, as the posting shows and was suggested right up to 1918; it was even considered by Lloyd George as a solution to 'The Irish Problem", pretty much as the Famine was by Trevelyan, this time by forcibly conscripting the imprisoned rebels to fight in Europe.
Think these two problems are put to bed safely, don't you?
