if de valera had stood beside collins after the treaty who knows we maybe could of avoided civil war rather than disguising his cowardice

[godbrother10]

@Minnock16 That isn't true. To say Dev is solely responsible to the Civil War only shows limited knowledge. Men like Lynch, Brugha and Barry were all going to oppose anything that wasn't the Republic.

@kbcmighty

In the whole 9 counties of Ulster, there are more than a million Protestants, (not all of them Unionists of course!), check the censi if you like!

And in what conceivable way do I show an "allergy to democracy"? You know nothing of my views either, so do not presume!

I challenged you to offer a proposal that would have been acceptable to all Irish peoples, remember? And all you proffer is unsubstantiated speculation of some British conspiracy!

Must do better.

@rj4525 michael collins was one of irelands great heros devalera knew from the start that a 32 county was not achiveble from the start and didnt go to the treaty to shift the blame de valera was the tratior churchill siad if there wasnt a decsion made he would declare war on ireland again and that is the reason he signed it so he saved ireland we may be still under britsh rule today if it wasnt for collins and the rest so do some research you uneducated fool

@godbrother10 Finally someone who has read a book, not to mention micheal collins is the one who call off the coalition 24 hours before it was to happen.

@TheSoulboy90 a propsal would be devolved parliaments for each of the four provinces of ireland. a bit like the set of the uk now.

@TheSoulboy90

Just jumping in here, didn't read all the comments but to respond to your statement ''I challenged you to offer a proposal that would have been acceptable to all Irish peoples,''

You are never going to please everyone in an electorate, here or in any other country. To sum up, the Minority of British Unionists back then, held the rest of the peoples of this Island hostage, They did not respect the wishes of the majority of this Island and bizarrely they were entertained.

You make this look al wrong

[fassaroe]

Éamon de Valera was a turn coat. That is the Truth. You all know it is

[eamon4800]

This makes me sad that fellow irishmen who fought so fearlesly started killing each other because of their biggest enemy put them against each other. The british bastards could have just gave us our independance but no, instead they let massacure happen.
