Frances O'Flaherty is seen painting an "Irish Republic" flag. This flag was actually sewn by Mary Shannon and painted by Theobald Wolfe Tone FitzGerald and flew above the GPO during Easter Week. After Easter Week, it was seized by British Soldiers and kept in the Imperial War Museum in London. It was returned to Ireland as part of the 50th anniversary commemorations. The flag is now in the National Museum of Ireland.
