Sean Lemass. Member of Collins squad. Knew how to use a gun.
Lemass, has the most experience in battles (lied about his age to fight in 1916, was one of the 12 Apostles that took out the Cairo gang and fought in the Civil War). Dev was a commander and allegedly cracked up during the Rising plus he might betray you. Cosgrave Sr was involved in 1916 as well but don’t know much about what he did. The rest were lawyers and teachers mostly so they wouldn’t be much good to you.
Lynch though would be a dark horse though from his hurling days, would be pretty athletic and hard.
Dev or Lemass as they were actual fighters Lemass considerably more so but Dev was a bit of a unit in his prime. Haughey had fca experience and was a decent athlete so he’s probably 3rd choice followed by Martin due to football experience and he’s fairly tall and in great shape for his age now.
I just love the idea of John Bruton trying to intimidate anyone.
Bertie has all the smoke and daggers
Sean Lemass
Cowen for sure
Gareth the good, I would feel like Julius Caesar with most of the others.
The only correct answer is Michael Collins.
I know he is not in the pic, still the only one who would have them all dropping like flies.
Jack Lynch. Could use his tunnel to escape.
I’d handcuff myself to Bertie, that effing snake is a master of self preservation….
Albert, he would strike a deal with the others to get them to feck off.
I’m choosing Dev.
Fuck, he just shot me in the back.
Bertie and Leo seem pretty teflon so it’s between those two.
Im only old enough to know the bottom few.
Varadkar repels all known life so I’ll just tie myself to him
As much as I’d despise him, I’d have to say Bertie. I just get the impression he’s a cockroach of a human being, so if he was to protect you he’d find some way to creep and crawl his way out of a tricky and tight situation
Where’s Mr. Collins.
Bertie. Even CJ Haughey said as much.
Eww…
Defo Lemass he straight up killed people, the others only did it from afar
Sail off in Haugheys yacht. None of the rest funded the navy particularly well, I’m away scot free
Jack Lynch would kick the shit out of most of them.
Lemass because he has easily the most combat experience or Haughey, cause that motherfucker was so good at dirty underhanded shit and has experience gun running, he’d probably turn up with a fucking minigun
I’m picking Bertie, when you are a minister of finance and not have a bank account is a special move that I want to know.
I know the rest are coming for me if I’m financially secure it will help my chances.
Charlie Haughey to protect. Involved in arms selling to the IRA so he’s connected in the right way and if not at least I’ll die in luxury paid for at the taxpayers expense
I didn’t know Colin Mochrie was in Irish government
The dude with the pipe, he will blow the smoke onto others so they leave me alone.
Dev.
The only guy there who never bent the knee to the archbishop, or kissed his ring is Leo Varadkar.
Haughey has the funds to protect anyone
Haughey lads, I swear he’d call in his shady connections with the ‘RA.
There isn’t one of them that doesn’t look like they have something wrong with them.
Lemass for a man with combat experience. I guess Dev had also but I couldn’t trust him.
Dev is flipping you over his shoulder and running for the exit, the first chance he gets.
None of them. Think I’d stand a better chance throwing myself off the Titanic and making friends with a shark.
Mighty Dev seems like a safe bet.
Definitely Lemass. As a 16 year old he accidentally killed his brother while cleaning his revolver. Conflict hadn’t even started yet on the island and young Sean already had a revolver. Most lads his age were polishing their hurleys. He was polishing his revolver.
A few months later he just turns up at door of the GPO in the middle of the rising with a shotgun (I presume the police had confiscated his revolver for the safety of the general population) and ended up in the thick of the fighting around the GPO. Probably kills a few soldiers. He is still 16. He wasn’t even old enough to go to the Somme. Yet here he is fighting his way through to the GPO and then fighting his way up Moore Street as part of an attempted breakout by the diehards.
Next he is one of Collins “Apostles”. He is an experienced assassin at the age of 20. He took part in the shootings on Bloody Sunday and probably many more assassinations.
He is one of the anti-treaty lads who seize the four courts. Eventually fights his way out of that seige and ends up in a flying column in active combat with free state forces. He is eventually captured but the civil war ends before he can be executed.
And all this at an age when most of the others on the list were still in college.
And we get Leo…..
The one with the biggest bank account.
So definitely not Bertie.
Probably Haughey so.
Bertie, if they are coming to get me, they would get him in the cross-fire. Although he would probably double cross me to help himself
Dev.
They’d all be terrified of Dev.
If you mean a physical fight, Leo. He’s the youngest, quite tall, and into fitness. Next choice would be Haughey, because he would fight dirty, and Lynch because he could use his GAA skills to win.
I’m going for Cork Hurling Legend Jack Lynch mainly because I could ask him what it was like to play the game with Christy Ring

Haughey. Neck like a jockey’s bollox.
Biffo. He’d bate the shite out of all of them.
Jack Lynch with his hurley

Definitely Not the spineless Liam Cosgrave.
Haughey would slit all of their throats
