"Now who was it that laughed when I pointed out that the Irish Volunteers who fought that Easter were well trained and drilled,"
They were neither trained nor disciplined beyond the level I have described.
The Dublin Police Chief says "gives evidence of better training and discipline than they have been credited with'" but nobody suggests they were any more than I have described - it was his opinion (which you have written off as irrelevant in a previous post regarding Bonar Law's biographer) based on nothing more than a personal impression
The rebels were not trained - they had no arms to have been - there really is no dispute anywhere about this fact.
They certainly were disciplined and they were dedicated and that's about the level of their training.
As I said, onwards and upward.
