Later documents issued by the rebels gave Pearse pride of place, though as 'Commanding in Chief the Forces of the Irish Republic, and President of the Provisional Government, not 'President of the Republic'.
Documentos emitidos posteriormente polos rebeldes deron a Pearse o privilexio do posto, mais coma 'Comandante en Xefe das Forzas da República Irlandesa, e Presidente do Goberno Provisional', non coma 'Presidente da República'.
