I'm focusing on the the events leading up to and everything that happened at City hall on  the Monday. I have been able to gather a number of eye witness testimony from the likes of Kathleen Lynn and Helena Maloney but very little is available on Katie. What did she do when he was shot? What were her duties on that day? if you could tell me when she was married and to whom?

It is my hope to tell the story that hasn't been told yet. These people while fondly remembered, have not had the chance to have their story told on a wider platform.

On a personal note, I have a great sense of pride knowing that while everyone was Downing tools to fight for their freedom, Artists were no different. I'm particularly fascinated by the fact that Sean was playing the lead in Kathleen NiHoulihan at the time.  Yeats is quoted later as saying:

"Did that play of mine send out certain men the English shot?"

Sean was the first to fall in the rising. I want him to be remembered because I am proud of him, his story is fascinating. He was an artist and as an artist, I would like to eulogise him in a way in which I seem fitting One of my fellow craftsmen.
