2. BRITISH REINFORCEMENTS ARRIVE  On hearing about the rising, General Lowe takes charge. He has 4,678 men under his command at the Curragh. Within hours these are mobilised and on their way to Dublin. Another 1,000 soldiers are on their way from Belfast. Arrangements are also being made for additional troops to be sent from England. By dawn on Tuesday these forces are in Dublin and the rebels are already outnumbered. Martial Law is declared at about 11.30 am

In order to improve communications holes are tunnelled into the adjoining buildings. As well as giving a military advantage, this tactic also allows messengers to move from one position to another.
