AND I DO DECLARE that all persons found carrying arms, without lawful authority, are liable to be dealt with by virtue of this Proclamation. GIVEN AT DUBLIN This 29th Day of April 1916. (Signed) WIMBORNE. GOD SAVE THE KING. PROCLAMATION POSTED OUTSIDE THE GENERAL POST OFFICE. POBLAGHT NA H EIREANN. The Provisional Government of the IRISH REPUBLIC. To the People of Ireland. IRISHMEN AND IRISHWOMEN: In the name of God and of the dead generations from which she receives her old tradition of Nationhood, IRELAND, through us, summons her Children to her flag and strikes for her freedom. Having organised and trained her manhood through her secret revolutionary organisation, the Irish Republican Brotherhood, and through her open military organisations, the Irish Volunteers and the Irish Citizen Army, having patiently perfected her discipline, having resolutely waited for the right moment to reveal itself, she now seizes that moment, and, supported by her exiled Children in America and by gallant Allies in Europe, but relying in the first on her own strength, she strikes in full confidence of victory.
