This is the definitive report on who fought in the Four Courts garrison during Easter Week. It was estimated that perhaps 70% of actual members of the 1st Battalion took part in 1916 . Additionally some members of other battalions and organisations also joined in as part of the Four Courts garrison. The Garrison List on this website has 313 names, but is known to have a number of errors. The Mendicity Institute was taken by members of the 1st Battalion but is usually considered separately to the Four Courts garrison.
