As a member of the 32 County Sovereignty Movement and a supporter of the RIRA's fight for freedom I believe that Collins was sold out and had he lived our fight would have long since ended. TAL
Can some of you people hear yourselves. Mick got the best deal he could at the time. Dev should have went himself but he sold out Mick. If the big fella had lived Ireland would have got the 32 counties back a long time ago.
@sharetheluck wind your neck in m8 ;) omg i have heard many statements .... but yours beat the lot ...the ira freedom fighters are on a ceasefire ... in case u didnt know ? .... and they and they alone will see a united ireland ;)after all they have taken a back seat and let sinn fein lead us to freeedom ;) micheal collins (god bless his soul )may have started the revolution ... but sinn fein will finish it ;) i have faith in marty and jerry ;) ... dont u ? ...
@TheSegan5 so you agree with the brittish army burning us people in the north off ireland out off our homes, and expect us not too fight back!! i take it ur a west brit - free stater who was prob waiting to shake the hand off the queen.
@FreedomSaoirse That's very harsh. Collins did everything he could to avert the civil war. In the end he had no alternative; the British were breathing down his neck with their promise of "immediate and terrible war", and the Irish electorate voted overwhelmingly for the treaty. Anyone who attacks Collins (and I am not suggesting that you did) or labels him a traitor is ungrateful for his inspiring contribution to the Irish cause, and deeply ignorant of the position he was put in.
