Eamon de Valera commanded the 3rd Battalion during the Easter Rising, and held Boland's Bakery and Flour Mills until Sunday 30 April when Nurse Elizabeth O’Farrell brought the news of the general surrender. De Valera was sentenced to death, but the sentence was commuted to penal servitude for life, and he was later released in 1917.
