A crafty low life who sold out the true cause of Ireland while he lead a life of luxury and invited a chosen few to be at his side sure he wasn't really Irish anyway.
Let me ask the viewers this: why is W.T. Cosgrave largely forgotten? After all, it was he, not de Valera who established Eire as a viable state with strong democratic institutions at a time and place (inter-war Europe) when Fascism and Communism were ascendant and the Great Depression left all Europe vulnerable to those totalitarian ideologies. Cosgrave deserves more credit.
@lsnows This may be very late, but you're completely right. There are so many more Irish Politicians deserving of a place in history. I personally hate de Valera, he was a divisive, selfish and inspired 100's more unnecessary deaths in the Civil War. Cosgrave, Collins and Griffith were far more deserving of the kind of praise lauded on de Valera.
