Elizabeth O'Farrell wasn't airbrushed out, either literally or figuratively. In the single, amateur and very poor quality photograph of the surrender, only her feet were visible. These were airbrushed out for aesthetic reasons. Taking out a pair of boots is not taking out a person! And O'Farrell's mission to negotiate the surrender has always been part of the historical narrative. It is in Dorothy Macardle's ''The Irish Republic'' (1935), Max Caulfield's ''The Easter Rebellion'' (1963) and Foy and Barton's ''The Easter Rising'' (1999). The idea that she was airbrushed out of both the photograph and the history books is a 21st-century idea and is completely fallacious.

:Can you provide evidence it was for aesthetic purposes? Anyway could it not just explain the view that she was airbrushed from history as opposed to stating it was fact?[[Special:Contributions/80.111.42.187|80.111.42.187]] ([[User talk:80.111.42.187|talk]]) 10:25, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

"lifelong friend"

The description of Julia Grenan as "lifelong friend" seems to be code for "significant other". It's written on their grave, but its meaning was not a secret. [1] [2]. jnestorius(talk) 23:14, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
