Ireland mightn’t of fallen into the hands of the Catholic Church had this man lived on
A true Irishman. Named himself after a drink. Cheers.
I don’t understand Irish men and women who fawn over him. When I look at the photo I just see a guy.
Aaaah Mick, what could have been
Had a knob like a Pringles tube apparently.
A true Irish hero…
Is he dressed in a Brit artillery uniform?
He’s looking so normal here
Collins was caught up in an apparent assassination attempt on this day 100 years ago. Seemingly a body of men appeared out of 44 Parnell Square in Dublin and shots were fired at Collins. He claimed they were probably trying to ‘seize’ him. Three nights previously the militant wing of the anti-Treaty executive had occupied the Four Courts, so maybe this was a Liam Mellows or Rory O’Connor sanctioned job or just some random attack.
Edit to this: this image is from July or August 1922. Collins took up the post of commander-in-chief of the National Army on 12 July. He wouldn’t have worn a military uniform prior to that from what I understand.
Well done, “the rebel county”!
If he were around today loads of blue haired vegans on the dole would be protesting and calling him a racist
If he lived, we were heading for a military dictatorship. I cant say it would have been any worse than what actually happned in the years following independence.
Prick
He was a traitor
Lasher.
Wasn’t he on Apollo 11 though ….. ah Im confused now. That’s not him, that’s Mr Tayto’s grandfather.
Hell of a lot of foliage on those trees for the middle of April
What might have been? You have to wonder if he didn’t leave Dublin then. I like to think it would have been better than what happened but I suppose we’ll never know
If only Mick saw how the country was run today! 💔True patriot Irish men and women who sacrificed their lives for Ireland
Pretty mad to think all pics of him he’s at most just a couple years older than me….looks like a mature, tough fella and then here’s me wanking into a sock.
More like june/july judging by the tress and the grass well in flower.
I remember reading in [a book about him and the Squad](https://books.google.co.jp/books/about/The_Squad.html?id=5gNboMN6PWUC&source=kp_book_description&redir_esc=y) that, even after peace was achieved and Collins was Chairman of the Provisional Government, he was still planning assassinations of people who had been on the British side of the war lmao. The author made the argument that this was troubling enough that he wouldn’t have been a very good peacetime leader.
Would be turning in his grave if he seen what the country has become
He was a crypto fascist. Had he lived Ireland would have been much worse off.
One of teachers I in my school claims she’s Michael Collins’ grandaughter or great grandaughter or sum
Not sure if I’m missing the joke, it was 22nd August. You’ve mixed him up with Jesus maybe?

Wasn’t he such a fine man?
