Sir,—The caption on p. 37 of Ruairí Ó hAodha’s article on Mary Size (HI 27.2, March/April 2019) implies that Constance Markievicz was removed from Richmond Barracks directly to Aylesbury Prison in England. In fact, as the ‘Register of Convicts Sentenced to Penal Servitude’ (above/below) shows, she was held in Mountjoy Prison, Dublin, from 7 May to 7 August 1916 before being transferred to Aylesbury.—Yours etc.,
