  • Why do I shed a tear when I look at this. Am I being over sentimental or Is it the Tragic death of he who could be called "Ireland's Greatest Hero". Maybe the tears fall for the lost possibilities for our country. Or for a time when this man put his country first , just like many others. Ireland's Great lose. Don't think we will see his like again. I don't think there is anyone around today any where near his ability. God Help Ireland!
    This Clip is from a RTE documentary "The Shadow of BealnaBláth" 1988 the looked at the murder of Michael Collins and comes up with a name for the person that pulled the trigger.
    The song at the end is "The Shadow" sung by Mary Black

    I am from Serbia and I am a big fan of Ireland and I especially appreciate the work and act of Michael Collins. I consider him a great fighter for the freedom of Ireland and may God grant him peace in heaven.

      He was Ireland's greatest son. A revolutionary, freedom fighter, politician and patriot. Some of our people just cannot see how great he was. He was shot in an unnecessary Irish civil war when brother fought brother. The Irish people democratically voted for Collins and the treaty so the traitors were in opposition who caused the civil war. That's the truth and the hard facts. Collins is a national hero! ☘️💚

      @@JamesRichards-mj9kw De Valera went against the democratic wishes of the Irish people and caused bloodshed. We all know who the traitor was. History and facts don't lie. You can try and dress it up any way you like. De Valera the traitor went against the will of the Irish people and disrespected us. He admitted as much! De Valera would have been better served in supporting Collins in fighting for the 6 Counties which he had planned. The treaty and 26 Counties was just a stepping stone in Collins' plans to achieve a united Ireland.

    Collins was betrayed by De Valera… he knew this when he signed the treaty and he knew it meant certain civil war and his own death. But he also knew that Ireland had to make the first steps to independence, despite the initial compromises.
    “It’s my considered opinion that in the fullness of time history will record the greatness of Collins and it will be recorded at my expense.” - Eamon de Valera
    RIP Michael Collins…a Great Man indeed.

    • @hmmmmm6243
      @hmmmmm6243 Год назад +2

      Trouble is there’s no proof DeValera ever said that. It’s a quote from someone who allegedly heard it from someone who heard it from someone else. As so often with the Irish. Collins was setting himself up as a kind of benevolent dictator and there’s no question that time and again he grabbed power when he should not have. When he died he was both commander of the army and “head of the provisional government”. Sure sounds very fascist to me!
