A minority of the Irish Volunteers, mostly led by members of the Irish Republican Brotherhood ( IRB ), refused to support the War and kept their arms to guarantee the passage of Home Rule.

This reorganization put the IRB is a stronger position, as four important military positions ( director of training, director of military organization, director of military operations, and director of communications ) were held by men who were, or would soon be, members of the IRB, and who later become four of the seven signatories of the Easter Proclamation.

This dual rôle allowed the Committee, to which Clarke and MacDermott added themselves shortly afterward, to promote their own policies and personnel independently of both the Volunteer Executive and the IRB Executive — in particular Volunteer Chief of Staff Eoin MacNeill, who supported a rising only on condition of an increase in popular support following unpopular moves by the London government, such as the introduction of conscription or an attempt to suppress the Volunteers or its leaders, and IRB President Denis McCullough, who held similar views.

According to ICH-GCP an IRB / IEC should safeguard the rights, safety, and well-being of all trial subjects.

The IRB / IEC should obtain trial protocol ( s )/ amendment ( s ), written informed consent form ( s ) and consent form updates the investigator proposes for use in the trial, subject recruitment procedures ( e. g., advertisements ), written information to be provided to subjects, investigator's brochure, available safety information, information about payments and compensation available to subjects, the investigator's current curriculum vitae and / or other documentation evidencing qualifications, and any other documents the IRB / IEC may need to fulfill its responsibilities.

The IRB / IEC should review a proposed clinical trial within a reasonable time and document its views in writing, clearly identifying the trial, the documents reviewed and the dates for the following:

According to ICH GCP, the IRB / IEC should consider the qualifications of the investigator for the proposed trial, as documented by a current curriculum vitae and / or by any other relevant documentation the IRB / IEC requests.

According to ICH GCP the IRB / IEC should conduct continuing review of each ongoing trial at intervals appropriate to the degree of risk to human subjects, but at least once per year.

When a nontherapeutic trial is to be carried out with the consent of the subject's legally acceptable representative ( see 4. 8. 12, 4. 8. 14 ), the IRB / IEC should determine that the proposed protocol and / or other document ( s ) adequately addresses relevant ethical concerns and meets applicable regulatory requirements for such trials.

Where the protocol indicates prior consent of the trial subject or the subject's legally acceptable representative is not possible ( see 4. 8. 15 ), the IRB / IEC should determine that the proposed protocol and / or other document ( s ) adequately addresses relevant ethical concerns and meets applicable regulatory requirements for such trials ( i. e., in emergency situations ).

The IRB / IEC should review both the amount and method of payment to subjects to assure neither presents problems of coercion or undue influence on the trial subjects.

According to ICH GCP ( good clinical practice ), the IRB / IEC should ensure the information regarding payment to subjects, including the methods, amounts, and schedule of payment to trial subjects, is set forth in the written informed consent form and any other written information to be provided to subjects.

Besides almost always winning his own line-out ball, Matfield is known for his exceptional skill at disrupting opposition line-outs – this skill was a cornerstone of their 2007 World Cup success, where he was crowned IRB ( International Rugby Board ) player of the Rugby World Cup – and his speed around the field led former Australian coach Eddie Jones to comment that he should be an Olympic sprinter instead.
