So? are we to forever to be bullied into contracts made under duress? WHERE ARE OUR PRINCIPLES!! be cowed by ''authority'' stand firm on what you believe in, otherwise you elect to be a slave for your entire life.
michael collins is a snake. dirt eejit gave away 6 countys he was too shity to fight another year against brittan but rather go into a civil war with his own eople. we had da british empire on dare knees and he couldnt see it. FUCKIN DESERVED TE GET KILLED.
Wow, I'm amazed to find this on You Tube. Believe it or not I played an extra in this scene. Was in the FCA at the time and we got the parts as extras as British soldiers. Was a great experience and Brendan Gleeson was sound. I'm the soldier who does the frisking in this scene. Still get slagged over letting Michael Collins through with a gun in his pocket Would love to have the film on DVD or Download but can't get it anywhere.
collins is the man.............never let us down,he signed a treaty that dev had'nt the balls to face and kept the northern command fully armed & informed.....shame on anyone who speaks ill of the name of michael collins.
Michael Collins and other pro treatyites kneel at the authority of the Empire 1921...Brian Lenihan kneels at the authority of the EU 2009-2010 and, in the latters own words is also ''bullied'' into signing away our Sovereignty...Collins naturally is the better man, but parallels are plainly clear. Rest in Peace, Heroes of our nation and sadly, at the same time-Quislings of our nation. Both had excuses for their actions- words like 'best deal we could get' sad how history repeats.
Went to Glasnevin Cemetery in august this year and saw his grave covered with flowers and I was able to add one too, a very special moment for me, took lovely photos too.
I have never been to his resting place, but i would deem it an honour to visit it and say a prayer, pleased you had the honour to see it and lay a flower.

What about the IRA men done to death at the Four courts? Drumboe? Ballyseedy?
He didnt back up the northern IRA after the treaty afterwards afterwards. The greatest of the Republican leaders was Cathal Brugha.

Dr Michael Collins, Now that was an Irish Rebel and Ireland owes him a gratitude of debt.
A True Irish Hero, One of the few.
May he be resting in perpetual peace (R.I.P)
