IRB members of the provisional committee Since no one seems to have a reliable source on when Plunkett MacDonagh and O Lochlainn joined the IRB and if it was before the Provisional Committee ceased functioning evidently in Oct 1914 saying the IRB held half the committee appears to be unfounded If someone can quote a passage making this absolutely clear they should do so I have a list of IRB members at the time of the official formation of the Volunteers and being the most specific list we should go with that to avoid problems of chronology In the meantime there are other edits that keep getting reverted in this squabble including the POV attribution of the manifesto If no one cares to discuss this here they should prepare to see their edits reverted Posting platitudes by the way does not qualify as discussion
