Thank-you sir , all of us in his family appreciate it. Including my cousin Mic's great granddaughter. If you are in colankitty and know of the cotters tell them the relations from across the pond give a big hello.

Michael Collins was much more a true patriot then nationalist. Everything he did was founded on pragmatic reasons and realistic goals. Of course he had his ideals for an independent free state with strong social justice. He literarily sacrificed himself to reach these goals, but acted always in a responsible way. If he would have lived longer then the Free State would certainly have evolved into an republic and his pragmatic realism would have created trust towards the Northern counties. This could have given Ireland and its Northern counties a real chance to grow closer together over the years. De Valera and his radical idealists blew it all, with Civil War and a fundamental breach with the Northern counties as a result. De Valera was a God's gift to the extremist Protestants of the North while they all feared Micheal Collins power to compromise and showing a way towards a truly united Ireland for everybody, Protestants and Catholics alike.

Im non-Irish I don't can to judge . I think both, Mr. Michael Collins and Mr. De Valera were very controversial in their time...but both were good patriots in their own way. The countless nameless dead from the many uprisings and previous defeats are the true heroes. They made the greatest sacrifice a human being can give - their own lives. You have to give the Irish credit for that...they were very self-sacrificing.
@@shredder9536 Yes, I wondered that too...nothing to do with Ireland. Some people unfortunately turn on their M.S.M and believe every bloody thing they say without doing proper research to understand why people go to war..There's always two sides to a conflict. Putin is no angel...but I understand why he went into Ukraine. We in the west are experts at helping to set up wars. Discusting! As for Collins ...I think he was a brilliant man...with no hatred of the English people ...just their greedy and corrupt leaders . The civil war was typical of what humans beings do ...hot heads who refuse to think things out with steady minds. I remember reading about many anti treaty prisoners in mount joy prison...who when hearing about the death of Michael Collins got down on their knees with remorse and starting praying. So sad . Now today most Irish buy British newspapers, support British soccer teams, watch British TV, buy British goods, listen to British music, and have soo many British stores in Ireland. The British they so wanted rid off!!! And to crown it off we Irish have replaced British control with the E.U globalists controllers....We are not free!
@@shredder9536 maybe he is part Ukrainian, or maybe he likes the flag, maybe he likes Ukrainian women, or maybe he finds solidarity with Ukrainian people as they are fighting for their homeland like Michael Collins did , or maybe something else, 🇮🇪 🇧🇴🇧🇷🇬🇭🇮🇳🇯🇵🇪🇸🇻🇳 🇺🇦
The first leader we should have had and were deprived of his wonderful way of thinking. The civil war should never have happened and I put all the blame on Dev for leaving the Dail and making that terrible speech about Irish Blood. I have read a number of books on both Dev and Michael. And I feel that we have lost a wonderful leader and the country would have been a lot different than we have today. I feel Tim Pat book on him sums him up so well.
Mick went back to Ireland in 1916 to avoid consciption his brother who was a policeman in Chicargo tried to get him to go there but he had made friends with other Irish in the GPO working mans club he frequented so went to Ireland instead and thats where the rifles came from later 🙂
They didint hav many he was 2 busy hiding from them ,the ruc didint even have a proper photo back then.when he was killed they laid his body in the old shanakeil hospital not 2 mins frm my house...

Am i right in saying Michael was 31 when he was murdered ? Jesus what he acheived at that young age is impressive
Collins was killed by the IRA because he had betrayed Ireland.
He's the reason we still have partition.
Very brave like so many over there. Rest in peace, all of you.

And my hero too
Great documentary.
Greatest Irishman ever throughout cruelly killed. What more could Ireland have achieved with Collins rather than Dev at the helm? 🤔
It would have been like fascist Italy or Francoist Spain.
He was a great man. 🇮🇪
If only you had him now but his spirit lives on and there is still hope. GOD SAVE IRELAND!
So many movements splinter and dissipate thus diverting their attentions from the real struggle.
10 000 pounds upon his head and still could not be sold.
How much is
10 000 pounds today? A century later!
Michael, I respect your patriotic vibes and love you for being handsome in life ❤
He betrayed his own people.
