During his time interned in Newbridge Mollie sent many letters to Liam. She did her best to keep his spirits up in extremely difficult times. Mollie and her sister Kathleen kept watch for Liam's release, firstly outside Mountjoy where Liam was help until 31 Dec 1922. Instead of release he was sent to Newbridge internment camp on New Year's Eve 1922. Both women kept up the watch going to Amiens Street train station on a daily basis to see if he appeared on the train bringing released prisoners up from Kildare. Mollie and Kathleen took turns with one of them watching the afternoon train and the other the evening train. The prisoners were released without warning and thus could not advise relatives that they were on the way home. Liam's release did not come until after he spent time on hunger strike along with other Republican internees. Liam was released from Newbridge Internment Camp on 14 Dec 1923.
