Jesuit involvement and reaction to the 1916 Rising: Eyewitness Diary

War had come to us at last. Dublin was in flames (27 April 1916)

During Easter Week Jesuit John Delaney walked from one point of military activity to another, chronicling all he saw in his diary which contains eye-witness accounts of the effects of 1916 on ordinary people in Dublin and its suburbs.
