Martin: Collins death deprived nation of reconciliation

The Taoiseach was addressing a crowd of thousands who gathered at Béal na Bláth in Co Cork to commemorate the centenary of the death of Michael Collins in an ambush.

"In his short 31 years Michael Collins made a deep, lasting and positive impact on our country," Mr Martin told the crowd. — RTÉ News August 21, 2022 Mr Martin was joined by Tánaiste and Fine Gael leader Leo Varadkar, making today the first time leaders of the two largest parties in the State - the parties that were formed by the opposing sides in the Civil War - addressed the event in Béal na Bláth.

The ceremony commemorates events of 100 years ago on Monday, 22 August, when the Civil War was almost two months old. He travelled with a small convoy, an armoured truck, an armoured car, an open touring car and a motorcycle, with around 20 men in all.

They were jeered and booed and Me-hole's words were played on loudspeaker. Now, cover that! 🫣

If Collins was alive he'd have nothing to do with FFG or SF

MichealMartinTD LeoVaradkar simoncoveney Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar and Simon Coveney are BOOED at the Michael Collins centenary commemoration... 🫣 'Let there be no doubt about where Ireland stands. We want nothing to do with a backward-looking idea of sovereignty.'

Hypocrite, criminal..

Disgraceful hijacking by the coalition carpetbaggers aided and abetted by media minions that are financially dependent of their drip fed hush money

The 30 year Provo campaign only set Irish unity back generations.

We lost more than Michael Collins we lost hope as as country 😢😢😢😢😢😢 RIP Michael Collins . Forever remembered .

Does that piddle of a defense force need to be at this? All these Generals in command of about 10 men each.

Pass the sick bag

Mehole & Varadkar were booed 🤣

Is that cnut serious? Fcuk me they are so distant from reality. Away back and bury your FF heads in the sand for another hundred years. And dont get me even started with the fcuking blueshirts.

Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael are going to merge aren’t they ?

Pure utter bollix

And deprived the people of an honest fair government where criminals don't run things.
