After some confusion and disagreement among the officers and a short de-mobilisation the Company re-mobilised with a strength of between 80 and 100 Volunteers and they marched off from Father Matthew Park at about 3pm.

Lived in Howth at the time and was posted to the 2nd Battalion headquarters at Fairview (Croydon Park) and attached to the Signalling Company and received instruction in Morse code and semaphore. A receiving radio was constructed in order to receive a signal from the Aud or the submarine in which Casement was travelling in. His main activity during Easter Week was to get the transmitting and receiving radio in the Wireless School working, the radio apparatus at the School had been disconnected at the outbreak of WW1. Along with six other Volunteers which included Sean O’Connor who was an electrician, Arthur Shields the well know Abbey actor and David Burk who was to be radio operator the Wireless School was occupied along with Reid’s Shop. The roof of the Wireless School was dominated by the tower of the D.B.C. (Dublin Bread Company) Luncheon Rooms restaurant, at 6-7 Lower Sackville Street (now Lower O'Connell Street). O’Kelly sent word to the G.P.O. that the D.B.C. would have to be occupied in order to ensure safe operation of the radio, a company of Volunteers was dispatched under the command of Captain Weafer, Weafer was Killed in Action while taking these buildings. It was not possible to set up a receiving radio but a transmitting radio was successfully put into operation, although it was not possible to communicate directly with anyone it was possible to broadcast messages on the airways. Fergus O’Kelly stated that as far as he could remember the first message broadcast was to announce the Proclamation of the Irish Republic and the taking over of Dublin by the Republican Army. The radio was kept in operation until the Wednesday afternoon when shell-fire from the Helga became so intense the position of the Radio was no longer viable. Attempts were made to bring the Radio apparatus to the G.P.O. but owing to the weight of some of the equipment this proved impossible. O’Kelly Joseph O’Kelly Sean T.

Joined the Fianna in Brunswick Street (now Pearse Street) inaugural meeting in 1909. Took part in the Howth Gunrunning, he was part of a group of six Fianna detailed to go to the top of Howth Head and using Morse code and Semaphore they were instructed to send the message ‘we are ready, are you?’ to a yacht about two miles out . The group was led by Captain White and included Barney Mellows and Paddy and Garry Holohan. After the signalling they returned to Howth harbour and assisted with the unloading of the guns. Although not a member of the Volunteers at the Split Robert Holland assisted Con Colbert in training the Volunteers. Out of about 800 Volunteers in the Howth Inchicore area between 40 and 50 went with the Irish Volunteers the rest remained with the pro-Redmond National Volunteers. Sometime after the Split Holland attended a mass meeting of Irish Volunteers in Limerick. While marching the Volunteers were ‘pelted with every kind of rubbish including pots, pans, bottles and jam jars’ and as they left Limerick the next day a Catholic priest encouraged the crowd to ‘beat the Volunteers out of town’ and as the train they were travelling in left Limerick station shots were fired at it and many of the carriage windows broken. About May 1915 he was sworn into the I.R.B. At about 7am Easter Monday morning he received orders to mobilise as many people in the district as possible and assemble at Emerald Square at 10am, around 150 men and 50 women mobilised. He was then ordered by Con Colbert to watch the gates of Wellington Barracks and report any troop movements, he was to remain at Willington Barracks until 2 minutes to Noon and then ordered to report to Ardee Street Brewery. Unable to gain entry to Ardee Street Brewery he eventually gained access to Marrowbone Lane Distillery. He remained at the Distillery until the Surrender on Sunday evening, the British had not managed to take the Distillery and the Volunteers were reluctant to surrender, throughout the week they had managed to repulse several attacks killing and wounding many British soldiers in the process, they had an ample supply of food and having sent out several teams to relieve dead British Soldiers of arms and equipment they felt they were sufficiently armed to hold out longer. After the Surrender Robert Holland was taken to Richmond Barracks. As they were marched under heavy escort from Marrowbone Lane they came under some very abusive treatment from crowds that had gathered especially outside Richmond Barracks, on several occasions British Soldiers had to prevent the angry crowd from attacking the Volunteers. He was held at Richmond Barracks until Tuesday about 6pm, when between 200 and 300 Volunteers were marched out the main gate and brought to the North Wall, loaded onto a cattle boat and shipped to Holyhead. From Holyhead he was sent to Knutsford Jail and in August 1916 transferred to Frongoch.
