- David Neligan describes how information was collected on undercover British intelligence agents targeted by the IRA in 1920.
David Neligan was a member of the Dublin Metropolitan Police who worked as a spy for Michael Collins at Dublin Castle during the War of Independence.
He describes how intelligence gathering worked and how the names were gathered of British agents who were to be killed on the morning of 21 November 1920.
Michael Collins.had set him a task,
To keep the men abreast of what was going on in the G Division.
Every member of the G Division kept a diary tracking their movements. David Neligan made it his job to read these diaries. He describes one incident of almost getting caught by an inspector.
I sweated blood for a couple of minutes.
He would memorise the activities of the G Division men noted in the diaries and report the information to Michael Collins and his men.
On the night after Bloody Sunday, he had an appointment to meet Liam Tobin. Following the events of the day the city had a heavy military presence.
It was impossible to describe the atmosphere in Dublin on that night.
However when Liam Tobin did not turn up to David Neligan’s shock and fear Michael Collins himself arrived. He immediately warned Michael Collins off as the place was crawling with secret servicemen. With nothing to report he told Collins to,
Go away for Christs’s sake.
On the night before Bloody Sunday. Liam Tobin and Tom Curran invited David Neligan to the Gaiety Theatre. When they met, Bill Tobin produced a list of all the secret servicemen who were to be shot the following morning.
As it happened, two of the men on the list were also in the Gaiety Theatre that night. The list was compiled from various sources and the use of a Thom’s Directory. David Neligan himself had also supplied some of the names on the list which took months of work to compile.
They were a hard crowd to get at because they were professionals.
David Neligan recalls there were scenes of complete panic at Dublin Castle when the shootings took place. There were many arrests as the British had no idea who was responsible.
This interview with David Neligan was recorded on 27 June 1978.
Seriously brave men back then, the most dangerous thing that happened to me in my job this morning was that I nearly dropped my Latte because a thug of a seagull tried to swoop down and relieve me of my croissant!!
You've had you're own independence struggle there fella and you triumphed. Don't underestimate your resolve...
We’ve been dumbed down in the pursuit of ‘staying safe’.
A great irishman ☘️👍🏻..’will ye go way, the place is crawling with tans and secret service’
True
Fascinating interview with a seriously dedicated patriot.
I get the feeling that Ireland is still in trouble, just like the feeling that was there before the troops were ever on our streets in 1969. The Dublin Crowd, acting on behalf of the Brussels Mob, are pushing the people in the twenty-six counties too far. Now you cannot even sell turf to a neighbour, and it may not be very long before the hidden guns see the light of say again.
True
He became a traitor in 1922
@freebeerfordworkers still a traitor like Collins
He tortured Irish republicans....it's well known who his true masters were.
The state Ireland is in today, Collins must be turning in his grave. Ireland needs another Collins.
different breed unfortunately. they're all too busy letting outside investors make profits, and being told what to do from Brussels at the expense of their own people.
@@roymunson1 Ireland alone is a country of negligible geopolitical influence. You have a stark choice between the EU and Eurasianism, and as tempting as Putinism might superficially appear to social conservatives, Eurasianists would steamroller their own version of Irishness over yours in a way that would have your hankering for British rule. The realpolitik In a world of diminishing resources is that Ireland merely has the freedom to choose its master.
Amen.
@@markofsaltburn we have no stark choices.
We are our own people. At least we used to be.
@@markofsaltburn Euroasianism is irrelevant to Ireland, the people coming in are SS-Africans, Poles, MENA etc. Putin is irrelevant to us.
This is the sort of patriotism Ireland needs today but is sadly lacking.
yup
True
Absolute bullshit
Lightning's about to strike - it's back
Good man, 👍 THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.
Spies and hawks, all very important when dealing with a brutal invading force
indeed
True
Pity there's not more interviews like this
True
Yes I agree
Not many interviews like this because those great men and women took so much to there graves especially after the civil war.... I just hope that in another 100yrs when we are all gone that they still recognise these men like they did for the big fella Michael Collins this year.... Anytime I'm over at Glasnevin to visit my families grave I always make sure I pay my respects at Collins's grave... May they all rest in peace 🙏🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Well said
@@seanohare5488 Appreciate that👍
Collins was a traitor
I hope I get to visit the big fella's grave someday.
@@Minime163 As I said I go everytime I'm at that cemetery to go my family's grave I always make a point of going over to the big fellas and it's extra special with my great uncles name there with all of his other great comrades who fought with him and for him... I hope you do to👍🇮🇪
A Michael Collins will Rise Again to do his Best Work.
Unlikely
😊
It occurred to me recently, that they are using the wrong terminology when talking about a 32 county Ireland as a United Ireland.
They SHOULD refer to it as a Re United Ireland.
It has MUCH more force about it, like a using Reunited Germany.
My Presbyterian grandfather was born in County Antrim, Ireland, in 1895.
He fought on the Somme with the Royal Irish Rifles, Royal Irish Fusiliers.
Sounds MUCH better, doesn't it.
The big fella my Hero 🙏🏻🇨🇮👍🏻☘️☘️☘️
Collins gave away the six counties. He was a traitor
@@sylviadrummond7293 Excuse me? That would be Eamon De valera you are referring to. Know your history. 🤡
@@Anonymousxxiiii I know my history. Collins betrayed Ireland, he paid the price by being shot down like the rat he was. Stop talking rubbish
@@Anonymousxxiiii you clearly don't know your history, collins killed more men using British guns than many British generals
@@johnny545 Hi there. Could you give me all of the relevant factual data from all of your sources from which you have gathered all of this information? 😉😅
Sounds like he’s from Limerick does anybody know who he is ? What brave men they were may God bless them we can call ourselves Irish today because of them☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️

@@jamesokeeffe3216
Good on you, mate.
True

True
David neligan book is fascinating
Nelligan & Broy are real hero’s… They made the British elites shit their pants !!!
These ol'boys are not nor never could be as brave as today's mask wearing skinny jeans donning ipod listening (with in ear plugs) Irish men😉👍👍👍💪
Sad but true
I'm very glad there is still a sovereign nation called Ireland. And after such a struggle, may it always be. 🇮🇪 ❤️
🇺🇸❤️
Ireland is not sovereign....it is a globalist swamp....patriotic men like this must be turning intheir graves at the treason that is being committed today.
Amm ..u are joking? Have you heard of EU?
What is wrong with Europe, without Europe Ireland would be a weaker and poorer country and so would many other countries in Europe, Ireland is a small country and not overflowing with people. Ireland is noted all over the world as a peace-loving country with its music, its songs, its art, For Thin Lizzy, Rory Gallagher Van Morriosin Gary Moore, Jim Fitzpatrick, Katie Taylor and thousands of religious people who went to the very poorest parts of the world and did not ask for anything in return. For its peacekeeping troops and many many more brilliant things. So Ireland is great in its own special ways but it is not a well-armed fighting nation, Thank God for that
Ireland is bankrupt. Don’t you know that. They loan money they don’t have. Who is going to pay? The Irish people
True
The Butcher of kerry,
The biggest blow they ever got
God Bless You Sir 🙏 🍀🇮🇪🍀
He had several pensions from his British service .....As suspected his real masters were in London.
