Great stuff Johnny 👏 👍 So well done 👏 There is no other way we can remember him now Except in Great song by Great Artests like your good self Just one point of contention We dont have to wait a thousand years to know who was Right and who was Wrong I can forgive the one's who were wrong and misguided But there was one who led them and knew exactly what he was doing and planning For that there can be no forgiveness not from me anyway The consequences were too awful too disgraceful
WE don't have to wait atall to know who was right and who was wrong But of course you Only have to listen to the rest of your great song to settle that question Thank you so much JOHNNY MC AVOY
Beautiful song about Ireland's greatest son , I always shed a tear when I hear Johnny singing this , Michael no one will ever hold a candle to you , not one of those traitors in stormont . He would be turning in his grave at the state of Ireland now ,,,,, REST IN PEACE .... IRELANDS FINEST
Ah the big fella as he was known, I wonder what he’d think of Ireland today. It’s amazing what 100 years has done to Ireland. As he said Northern Ireland Was only a stepping stone to an united Ireland 🇮🇪
I could listen to this song forever even though it has my heart broken. Jonny McEvoy is the perfect person to sing this, such emotion it's palpable. " Candles dripping blood", such beautiful words, thank you 🇮🇪💚
IT'S no wonder it breaks your heart It does the same to me When I think of the fact that he was deliberately set up All I can feel is anger And the CIVIL WAR that also resulted from that betrayal can not be forgotten nor forgive
Ireland,a land full spirrit,nature,the history,the proud of people ,a great land. that's can nobody you take away. Johnny Mcevoy great troubadour regard's The Netherlands
"By some not fit to even Speak your name..." 90% of the Dáil and Stormont aren't fit to SPEAK Míceál's name... let alone come out in support for him. If Míceál could see what the Dáil has done to Ireland he'd be spinning in his grave. Requiescat in Pace Míceál. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
It was Dev who said we will let the people decide. Then like the treaty when struck decided he changed his mind. The treaty in 1922 was the best result that was achievable at that time many Irish schols think if Dev wouldnt have had Micheal assasinated he probably could have gotten Ulster later. Dont let the mistaements of those who cloud history on one mans ego confuse you
Dev himself said that Collins would probably be judged the better man in history. We cannot jusge where things would have gone had Dev gone to London and failed. I suspect the Big Fella would have been prime mnister at some stage later, but would not like o have guessed events from there.
Talk sense man Dev never had any intention of Going to London It was a setup A dirty low scheme to get rid of the Man that he was not worthy to lace his shoe's Dev knew better than anyone else what was possible in the negotiation He knew that a 32 County Republic was not even on the table The Stormont Parliament was already up and running Had been opened by the King in July and the treaty was not signed until the following December The truth is that the British would never even came to the table only for MICHAEL COLLINS He forced them to the table They had no fear of Dev They treated him as a joke They were watching every move he made in America and every word he spoke While COLLINS was taking the fight to them They feared COLLINS but they also respected Him How could they not He actually did beat them at their own game
When Michael Colins excepted the treaty from Lloyd George, it split Ireland and the IRA into two groups, pro-treaty and anti-treaty. Pro treaty excepted the partition of Ireland, with the remaing 6 counties in the north to remain apart of the uk. Anti treaty wanted complete seperation. the resulted in the irish civil war. Michael to sum was a legend and to some a coward. Some say that he should have refused the treaty and continued the fight, others say it was a stepping stone to wards a united
THERE was no question of a 32 County Republic it was never on the table DEV knew that better than anyone The BRITISH EMPIRE AS IT was had no intention of rolling over and asking for the shopping list from the Irish delegation COLLINS knew that he could not continue the fight without catastrophic results He took the best deal that could be got at the time He seen it as a stepping stone By the way The treaty was passed by a democratic vote in the Dail Dev walked out The next step in his dirty scheme Shame on him
ireland. It depends what way you want to look at it. personaly I think he shud have told the brits to shove the treaty uep thier arse but again the subject is one that will allways divide opion amongest republicans.
O yes How Brave of you A hundred years later COLLINS knew better than anyone what the consequences of continuing to fight the British Empire The resulting carnage was something he was not going to be responsible for The other man who knew that there was no hope of getting any further concessions from the British Empire was DeVelera Why did he not go on and tell the British where to stick their treaty after HE came to power In his very long life he did not advance the cause of Irish unity by an inch further than MICHAEL COLLINS You could say that if he lived COLLINS would not have done any more than DeVelera to get a United Ireland Well He certainly couldn't have done any less
The cause of the Troubles rest solely on the shoulders of Dev .The vote of the people of the Irish Free States backed the accords brought back by Mic. Devoler was an egotist American born with good intetions but his decision to wage war against his own people was his not Mics
YES We know where the blame lies Power hungry Scumbag know better than anyone else what was possible to get from the British Empire as it was then Had it not been for MICHAEL COLLINS The British would not even have been at the table There would have been no table And Ireland would have been crushed yet again While the long windbag spouted His Bullshit about looking into his heart to know what the Irish people needed

'First time to find "Johney tonight'I love his songs very much!
IVE NEVER HEAR THIS SUNG SO WELL AN WITH JOHNYS HART IN EVERY WORD YOUR A REAL IRISH MAN LAD....
Beautiful song about Ireland's greatest son , I always shed a tear when I hear Johnny singing this , Michael no one will ever hold a candle to you , not one of those traitors in stormont . He would be turning in his grave at the state of Ireland now ,,,,, REST IN PEACE .... IRELANDS FINEST
Totally agree a great song sung by a great singer🇮🇪🇮🇪love this song 🍀
What Ireland?
It’s long gone
There is no need to go as far as Stormont to find traitors They were there in plenty in his own time
Ah the big fella as he was known, I wonder what he’d think of Ireland today. It’s amazing what 100 years has done to Ireland. As he said Northern Ireland Was only a stepping stone to an united Ireland 🇮🇪
He was right 🇮🇪🍀❤️

Michael Collins is my hero
I love this song well written Johnny,
''If the blackening of my name is the price of peace, then so be it''
The ones who tried to blacken his name were not worthy to SPEAK his name
Same here
Johnny will be Irish to score for ever mighty to the man
Ireland,a land full spirrit,nature,the history,the proud of people ,a great land.
that's can nobody you take away.
Johnny Mcevoy great troubadour
regard's The Netherlands
A great song, by a great singer. about Ireland's greatest son.
How right you are what more can be said
Beautiful.....
Am I right when I say that the majority of current Irish politicians are not worthy of speaking Collins' name?
"By some not fit to even Speak your name..."
90% of the Dáil and Stormont aren't fit to SPEAK Míceál's name... let alone come out in support for him.
If Míceál could see what the Dáil has done to Ireland he'd be spinning in his grave.
Requiescat in Pace Míceál. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
99% of politicians and 90% of the new age Irish people. Fuck it’s embarrassing
Yes you would be correct! The majority of our politicians today are Neoliberal Marxist communists who are nothing but puppets for the new world order.
I agree
Es bellisima me hace llorar cuando la escucho
one of my favourite songs and films x rip big Manx Michael we will never 4getx

SO MUCH HATE FOR ONE SO YOUNG Who was responsible for the hate.????ONE man more than any other

John Ronaldo
How long do we have to wait a bhuchall
YOU Better slow the years down John One thing is sure it would be united a long time ago if Michael Collins had lived
Had he only lived... There will never be another, and forever we weep for you, Mick.
Are you gay or something.
It was Dev who said we will let the people decide. Then like the treaty when struck decided he changed his mind.
