Excellent 20 page supplement with todays Irish Examiner on Michael Collins from rebel to statesman #BealNaBlath #MichaelCollins100 Fine Gael
Collins was a soldier of the capitalist class not of the Irish republic. Whatever his exploits prior the counter-revolution were, when the movement split, he chose the side of the oppressor.
The Republic will be realised inspite of Collins. #BealNaBlath
