Appearances
what had happened during the rising that she didn't approve of and in the aftermath as well.
So we have things like Frances Sheehy Skeffington being illegally murdered by a British officer and she uncovered this, called to Anna Sheehy Skeffington and her son to give them as much support as she possibly could.
She kept as much detail of the case.
She was very close to Francis Sheehy Skeffington and as you can imagine, they shared a lot of political ideals.
So she made sure that she kept details on this.
She kept details on any accounts of activities that had happened as well, where British soldiers had fired and killed suspects, all of these kind of different details.
There was also Michael Mallon.
His wife was heavily pregnant and she had four children, I think, at the time when her husband was executed.
And she had gone into hiding with the children.
Eva made sure that she tracked them down.
She found some lodgings with a local priest.
She made sure that she got money to them.
These were kind of dangerous activities in a time of right after the Rising when you've got military law.
So she wasn't afraid of getting involved and she returned to England and ensured that the first thing that she did was give a public talk on the Easter Rising.
She also published her account in the Socialist Review.
And again, we have Dora at the time, the defence of the Realm Act.
She could have been imprisoned for her activities, but she didn't care.
She was being watched, and we know this as well, from the Double Castle intelligence files.
So they were recording her activities and they were recording her visits with Constance.
So she was in full support.
