A receiving radio was constructed in order to receive a signal from the Aud or the submarine in which Casement was travelling in. His main activity during Easter Week was to get the transmitting and receiving radio in the Wireless School working, the radio apparatus at the School had been disconnected at the outbreak of WW1.

Along with six other Volunteers which included Sean O’Connor who was an electrician, Arthur Shields the well know Abbey actor and David Burk who was to be radio operator the Wireless School was occupied along with Reid’s Shop.
