Rosalie Rice was a member of Cumann na mBan[1] at the start of the rising. After the rising begun, she sent a telegram to her cousins, Timothy and Eugene Ring, at the Valencia Cable Station.

The message has usually been told as being: "Mother operated on successfully today-Kathleen," but recently that has been proven to be incorrect. The two then sent the telegram to leaders of the IRB in the United States. After the rising Rice was imprisoned by the British and her cousins were removed from their position at the Cable Station.
