[5] During her time in the Ladies' Land League she met her husband, John Wyse Power, the then editor of the Leinster Leader newspaper and a member of the Irish Republican Brotherhood.

[12] Her restaurant proved attractive to many nationalists of her generation in the Gaelic League and founders of Sinn Féin.

[14] In 1908 she expanded her business by acquiring new premises at 21 Lower Camden Street, again emphasising the sale of solely Irish produce.

[16] The signing of the Proclamation of the Irish Republic took place in Wyse Power's house in Henry Street.

At this time she was succeeded as President of Cumann na mBan by her close friend, Countess Markievicz, then in prison.

[22] In 1919, she was appointed Treasurer of the Sinn Féin Executive, when she recorded in Leabhar na mBan, their aims to include 'all shades of nationalist thought'.

[16] Throughout much of the latter half of 1919 a room in her restaurant in Henry Street, Dublin served as the Headquarters of the Irish Volunteers.

[24] Upon Cosgrave's arrest in June 1920, she was one of a new Dáil Commission appointed to overcome financial difficulties in Local Government.

[26] By the end of 1921 Power was convinced that supporting the treaty would mean the need to leave Cumann to form a separate organisation, saying, "It is to be regretted that this splendid force of women should have been the first body to repudiate the National Parliament, and thus initiate a policy, which has had such disastrous results.

[28] She was appointed to the Irish Free State Seanad Éireann as a Cumann na nGaedheal member in December 1922 by the President of the Executive Council, W. T.

[31] She complained in December 1922, that Mary MacSwiney and others were particularly "very free in their criticisms" – which stunned Power and many others in the rank and file, most of whom were pro-treaty.

[34] Wyse Power served on the Cumann na nGaedheal Ard Chomhairle but her time in the Seanad saw her become increasingly disillusioned with Government policy particularly over the debacle of the Boundary Commission.

[35] With the entry of Fianna Fáil into both the Dáil and Seanad she found herself more regularly voting with that party in divisions along with Colonel Moore and Senator James Charles Dowdall.

[38] On 5 January 1941, aged 82, she died at her home in Dublin, and was interred in Glasnevin Cemetery with her husband and daughter, Máire (who predeceased her).
