pm: The British appear to be planning something large at the Four Courts with sniper fire raining down from the roof of Jervis Street Hospital. Shellfire is increasing and the noise is deafening.

The civil servant Troupe noted that had the North King Street shootings taken place in England, the soldiers would certainly have been charged with murder. But Ireland was different. In the end, it was ruled without genuine consent and the authorities could not afford to publicise, let alone punish, the excesses of its soldiers.The Viceregal Lodge in Dublin, the home of the Lord Lieutenant, Lord Wimborne and where a conference was held by the administration on the day before the Rising.

British 18-pounder artillery based at Grangegorman Asylum opens fire on rebel positions in the Phibsboro area. pm: Plans to evacuate the GPO are developed as the ceiling continues to cave in around the Volunteers' heads. A group of Volunteers leaves the building to establish which escape route to Moore Street would be best. Intense fighting around City Hall. The rebels are on the roof, while soldiers on the street fire at their positions. Seán Connolly is shot and killed and becomes the first rebel to die during the rebellion. Fighting continues at the South Dublin Union as troops attempt to clear the rebel positions. Rebels holding the Marrowbone Lane Distillery respond with intense fire.At dawn a messenger from the Kerry Volunteers arrived in Dublin and informed Connolly that Casement had been arrested. Wolfe, an actor and former model, moved to this one-bed apartment four years ago with her husband, a hedge fund manager. The rent is pricey for what she confesses “feels like a kitchen with a bedroom” (its official 900 sq ft size feels a shade optimistic), but she and her husband are very happy here.

Pearse leaves Moore Street with O'Farrell and meets Lowe to surrender. He hands over his sword, pistol and ammunition, and signs a document of surrender. It is agreed that O’Farrell will return to Moore Street and then convey the surrender to rebel positions across the city. Shortly after Connolly is carried to the barricade on a stretcher and handed over to the British. Meanwhile, the upper floors of many new luxury skyscrapers serve as foreign cash stores: giant briefcases with views. The highest homes in Britain are the 10 luxury apartments between floors 53 and 65 of the Shard. They are among the most opulent in London, yet almost five years after their completion, none is occupied or even for sale or rent. The reason remains a mystery. More than a-third of those applications were to convert a shop into a restaurant, café or a takeaway. The high street was becoming a place for hot chocolate over homewares. The men at Boland’s Bakery have handed over their arms and begin their march to imprisonment. They are the last of the rebels to hand themselves over to the British. By mid-morning all rebel held positions are surrounded by British troops. Most positions are being shelled, and all locations are seeing intense sniper fire.In the North King Street area, Father Matthew Hall is full of the injured. Bridgit Thornton later recalls of that morning that ‘the enemy were closing in. The fighting was intensifying, the firing deafening’. The Flinders Street Station steps have been this meeting place for everyone for the last 100 and more years, and the building has been used as a civic space for 113 years. And I found that quite interesting in terms of placing First People's art in here, and how we can look at the coloniality of this place, but also beyond it."

pm: The Volunteers succeed in preventing a detachment from the 2/6th Sherwood Foresters Regiment from reaching the GPO. Lying in wait on Henry St until they are in close range, they ambush the detachment, and the infantrymen retreat. At Portobello Bridge and in the street around Jacob’s Factory there is intense sniper fire from the rebels. The cost of living crisis hitting small businesses comes after the hospitality industry struggled to stay afloat during the Coronavirus pandemic. This paper explores vitality, viability and resilience within urban retailing systems, focusing on the role played by both change of use and greater use diversity in developing adaptive capacity. The retailing centres of five case study cities, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Hull, Liverpool, and Nottingham, are examined over a twenty-year period using original databases on property use and geospatial mapping techniques to employ land use richness and diversity metrics in a novel manner. Overall, the analysis finds land use richness has generally risen as comparison retailing and financial services have contracted, to be replaced by hospitality, leisure, and residential uses. However, this re-balancing has not been even across retailing centres and is outstripped by rising vacancies. The study also reveals spatial variation in change of use and use diversity and richness as retailing centres slowly adapt, implying that future policymaking should focus on creating more resilient, mixed use city centres as an alternative to the single use retail high streets of the past. The occupation of the GPO has ended. The building is on fire, and a first party of 20 rebels have begun to evacuate and head towards Moore Street.Large numbers of Volunteers begin gathering at Liberty Hall. They are joined by members of the Irish Citizen Army. Volunteer activity is also observed around St Stephen’s Green. The British are adapting to the street fighting being used by the rebels and learning that barricades are the best way to combat it. Across the Irish Sea, a news report from Macclesfield found three restaurants closing in the past few months, with owners blaming rising costs.
