Today is the 98th Anniversary of Michael Collins' death. The 'Big Fellow,' a hero in the fight for Irish independence was shot dead at Bealnablath in 1922. He was 31 years of age.

What must he think of the Ireland of today, and it's Government? He must be turning in his grave!

Right corner...at the top of the stairs! Here I am with my pals Julia Roberts & Liam Neeson. Both were genuinely lovely to me. No egos at all. #MichaelCollins is on #RTEOne now. He was killed 97 years ago this week. #bealnablath
