[bmcummins1]

MICHEAL collins well never forgeting u

[buenosaires4u]

Admiral William Brown, born in Eire was the founder of the Argentine Navy (Armada) and always greatly admired.

[paulbarnes8]

he sold out tis country him and de valera just turned our back on ulster left the catholics up der 2 be salughtered we should have 32 countys free or no countys free atall

[joemoin]

@paulbarnes8 he didnt have a choice the brits knew who the IRA leader were now and they threatened all out war unless the terms were met plus the RA were rapidly running out of men and arms, they were backed into a corner, doesnt take a genius to figure it out

[MrTriggr]

as proven again and again, any revolution murderers it's children.

Michael Collins must have been quite a caracter nonetheless.

[joe19730801]

shite

[Catholicism777]

take it down from the mast irish traitors!

It's a flaf we republicans claim!

it will never belong to Free Staters!

who have brought on it nothing but shame!!!

[Johnnythemilkman08]

well the first pic show's the big fella in a irish free stater's uniform, not an british army uniform, now it is possible that the brit's made it.

please i dont want to fight with a guy over youtube about a uniform, so no mean comment's =]

[irishlad909]

What a true hero and an inspiration, I cant express my graditude to this great, legendary man, If I were to go back in time, I would take that bullet for him on that faithful day in Beal na Bla. God Bless Him.

[adamturner123]

4 members ofmy family were murdered by rebels in 1916 ,3brothers and one sister ,the broters were officers on leave from the somme,there is never one side to any story!

[TheWeatherman1987]

They shouldn't have been there in the first place. Nor should they have signed up to serve a terrorist government. one responsible for the greatest amount of theft, rape and murder in history. I love how people wear poppies to "remember their glorious dead" whenever it was they who are responsible for murders of innocent people. They colluded with loyalist paramilitaries to murder innocent Catholics like Pat Finucane.

[josparkes]

That is very noble and brave of you, he was a man who was worshipped and should never have died the way he did, but he died a hero for Ireland

[upderebels]

@irishlad909 I Second that

[EireAontaighe]

@irishlad909 absolutely. I would die for Collins gladly.

[1Fianna]

@EireAontaighe Lol

[andrewandboss]

what a legend!!!!!!!!

[dfmnoc]

the taoiseach i was on about was Sean Lemass

[NIFC]

U dont say De valera had him killed. He was such a hero to everyone in Ireland that they decided to kill him.

[thebritish25]

I belive that De valera oderd his assasination

[Johnnythemilkman08]

well yea obviously :L:L

[Sarah1987CheVolution]

@thebritish25 I agree he did

[BTBAMmordecai]

im so glad i have his name

[IRB1916]

No Irish man has done more in 31 years of Irish history than any before or ever again, that is a fact

[dfmnoc]

Ffs tell me wat did Michael collins do 4 Ireland only talk of a republic...Devalera talked of a republic and Got us a republic. Also one of lrelands Greatest Taoiseachs did more than Collins thanks 2 him we had the celtic tiger....Ur not in love with collins ur in love with the character in this movie.

[IRB1916]

De Valera got us a republic? the only reason he got da chance to break free from the British Commonwealth was the Statute of Westminister, somethin the govt. of Britain introduced themselves without any influence of war, oppression. Well done to Dev on his service as Taoiseach but wats this about him being responsible for the Celtic Tiger? he was more likely to be responsible for da harsh recessionary times of the 70s & 80s, of which I'm not going to say he was cause he was out of office by 1959

[DASHLONG27]

EIRE FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DASHLONG27]

EIRE FOREVER!!!!

[unbekannt16]

Maybe a stupid question does the ira have a web page and do they recrut also men from other country that belive in their ideals

[colummcclelland90]

The IRA are no were. That prick Gerry Adams sold them out... for Peace...

Adams You prick what the fuck about our land?

[floppykid]

if the I.R.A of 1919 saw the drugdealing scumbags that consider themselves the I.R.A theyd be rolling in their graves

[colummcclelland90]

true, true, my grand farther was in the Real IRA, out of curisouty why did people put thumbs down for my last message.

I know why, cause they haven't a fucking clue what IRA stands for

[4411ed4411]

you mean the UDA? They are the ones who deal the drugs.

[colummcclelland90]

thanks and your American now go eat a greasy burger.

[stacyblue1980]

[Fireescapeman]

[stacyblue1980]

[usernameisnameless]

Yes he is class. Other people in the world think so too ya know? ;)

[dublinbruno]

u do

[stacyblue1980]

I did not make that last comment. So I retract it.

[porridgeandbananas]

I remember seeing a documentary a good few years ago called The Shadow Of Bael Na Blath, must have been late 80s. My Granda taped it off RTE when he lived in Muff and sent it to us in Scotland. I'm sure they named O'Neill as the killer. Great watch if anyone can get it!

[darrin42]

Yes. And That IS Sonny Ó Néill. There is No Proof but

it is Very Likely Because of the Bullet type and the

Rifle that was used by Sony that Faithful day

[Johnnythemilkman08]

do u thinK Sonny Ó Néill would have used a 303?? they were the main gun of the time

[Mantgm240]

it was a 101

[Rfc1Darryl]

@darrin42 after bein an expert on scottish history, iv started learning, about the irish fight for freedom, although collins ran the RA, and Eamon de Valera, de Valera ordered the RA to do something Collins was against the strategy, and so many of his soldiers died, and captured, and Collins was furious, was it then they both went their seperate ways? which leaded to Collins' death? i support a united ireland, but i was on Collins side rather than de Valeras

[joemoin]

@Rfc1Darryl Dev set him up, he didnt go to the negotiations fot the anglo-irih treaty because he knew there was no way they could return with a full republic so he sent collins over to take the brunt, Dev didnt want his name to be associated with the treaty

[Mantgm240]

Ya, i have it, you can get on ebay,

Great video, and it does say that

sonny o'neil killed him

[SULLY2014]

it was one of his own who did it dalton the dirty bastard and he joined ff when it was formed and lined up former comrades and shot um in cold blood

[ryangiggs69]

Stabbed in the back he was !

[irani007]

i know this tunes a wolfe tones tune but what's the name of the track is it just michael collins?

[darrin42]

Yeah Its Just called Michael Collins.

[Rfc1Darryl]

@darrin42 the civil war was mad, i would of preferred to of seen de Valera and his boys go north, and take out the british forces, rather than go against the irish free staters, although Collins signed the treaty, he could hardly participate in going north, but he coulda sent a few of his lads, that way it wouldnt be his name that gets he blame, im a big fan of Collins, n if i could do what he did, for my country i would

[IrishGoatBoy]

"But remember it was the IRA that killed him"

One man does not equal the IRA.

[darrin42]

Hey Collins was the Leader of the RA in his time for ages. Until the Civil war at least. He done more than the Organisation after him could ever have dreamed of doing

[erniepimlott]

But remember it was the IRA that killed him

[darrin42]

Yes it was the Irregualrs they say. Opposers of the Treaty. Thats not proved you know. But I do believe you are right. It was Civil War and as Croppy boy sad Collins was Trespassing as a sort on land claimed by the Irregulars.

[RichardFogarty86]

The man who killed him named was Sonny O'Neill, an ex-British soldier who fought in WW1 and then fought with the IRA from 1919-1923. At the time of the ambush he saw a tall officer standing in the road firing his rifle. He aimed fired back and saw him fall. After that the convoy broke through and escape and the IRA column withdrew into the hills.

[Sarah1987CheVolution]

@RichardFogarty86 Sonny O' Neill was british???????????????

[ccasey1916]
