Michael had a real affection for the elderly, as he once said ” I was a reverential kid. Reverence was not only instilled into me by my father ; it seemed a natural trait. Great age held something for me that was awesome. I was much fonder of the old people in the darkness than I was of young people in the daytime. It’s at night you’re able to get the value of old people. And it was listening to the old people that I got my ideas of Irish nationality."

To me, Michael Collins is a hero. He was shot down by his own erstwhile colleagues. I don't believe that Éamon de Valera had anything to do with the assassination, but it was his side that did it. How he squared that later, when he became president, I have no idea. Collins is an open book; De Valera remains a cryptic figure.
@MinecraftRick

Oh, I'm sure that Éamon knew. He knew that as long as Michael lived, he himself could never take command. He knew that as long as Michael lived, he himself would never win their war. Would you rather join forces with Collins or Valera? Valera knew who people loved. That's why he had to kill the loved one.

Michaél 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.
