@@kkeith7425 it's historical fact he collaborated with the British. Churchill armed Collins with British weapons. Collins collaborated with British soldiers also to destroy the IRA.
I purchased his book that was recently released by the Collins family. Very rare book. Ireland's hero! Even England said, if they had a Michael Collins in their army they'd be unstoppable.
The men executed after thec1916 Easter uprising were true Irish Heroes and a were eventually given a State Funeral with full honours though it took decades. Michael Collins was also a hero cut down by cowards in his prime. Who knows what he could have accomplished if he had lived. It was left to lesser men such as De Valera to carry on his legacy.
to me michael collins, is irelands greatest son, what could he have achieved had he not been killed, I've heard stories that emmete dalton actually killed collins, if that is true, then it makes me more angry than I have been. As for De'Valera his actions caused the civil waR
Micheál Ó Coileáin, 1920: "Are we all yet educated to be free? Has not the greater number oF us still the speech of the foreigner on our tongues? Are not even we, who are proudly calling ourselves Gaels, little more than imitation Englishmen?...The survival of some connection with our former enemy, since it has no power to chain us, should act as a useful irritant. It should be a continual reminder of how near we came to being, indeed, a British nation. No one now has any power to make us that but ourselves alone....The biggest task will be the restoration of the language…Irish will scarcely be our language in this generation, not even perhaps in the next. But until we have it again on our tongues and in our minds, we are not free….”
Ireland's hero his father prophesied that Michael would do great things for Ireland on his deathbed and so he did.
Rest in peace Michael ❤ A true man of Ireland 🇮🇪
Michael Collins a brave hero of Ireland, laid down his life for our freedom. Never forgotten, a beautiful spirit. r.i.p.
He used British artillery upon other White men in Dublin

Michael Collins, the Best Ireland ever saw
Yes, however this song is not a tribute, it's a discrase to the big fella's name.
Where were you looking? He was a fucking murderer.

He would have freed the people of the Six. I left Belfast in 47 and we were still copping a police force of Pig M’Neilly’s

“. . . Educated to be free. . . “ ?
One would hope so. . . Depends on what “free” is
@@Jesus_Resurrection_and_Life It would appear to have been clear to Michael Collins.

ULSTER HAD TO SUFFER UNDER THE BRITS AND WE HAVE SURVIVED
They killed their own.
A song , in celebration to an absolute traitor to his own people.
He killed almost as many Irish as the British did.
