Subject: RE: BS: Easter Rising - April 24-29, 1916
Dublin Fire Brigade's first call out for a fire came at 3;58pm on the 24th April,
I introduced the looters to this discussion, I have never claimed that their fires were started by the artillery – that is a red herring
The looters fires were brought under control on the second day – those cased by artillery and devastated Dublin blazed throughout the week – which was the point of your accusing the fires to have been caused by the looters "not the artillery"
1: No British troops present in Sackville Street at the time the fires were reported.
Who said they were – red herring?

2: No Artillery at all in Dublin at the time the fires started.
Who said they were – red herring?

3: No heavy artillery was ever deployed in Dublin in 1916.
You claim there wasn't (without proof – I am not it the position to prove there was, but eye-witness reports (provided) say there was.
The fires that devastated Dublin were cause by artillery fire –n not by the rebels, as you claimed
As you never attempt to prove your claims, I know who I believe.
