"Saturday, January 22, 1916
Officers training camp began at Volunteers Hall, Sheares St, Cork, instructed by JJ O'Connell.
The course was to cover field work, elementary drill, physical drill, and lectures, according to the notice placed in the Irish Volunteer newspaper.
Most of the companies in the county mainly formed in the previous six months thanks to organisers like Terence MacSwiney, Sean Nolan and Daithi Barry were represented."
