Me being interviewed in the International Management Center (IMC) in Budapest in 1992 or 1993. The interview was on organisational culture and was part of a student project in an OB class. The IMC was Hungary's first independent business school, founded in 1988 by George Soros and supported by a number of western business schools. I had been working there for perhaps 6 months.

A great and honourable officer and gentleman. RIP
Unfortunatley RTE felt it was wise to erase all these historic recordings.
The GREATEST LOSS TO IRELAND. The sorrow... Michael Collins, the Greatest Irishman of ALL TIME.
What would the men of Michael Collins time think of the way our country has turned out today. If they were still with us today they would be still be fighting for a free Ireland
Emmett dalton shot Collins he was a British agent he learned he was hit when he shot him what a dirty rat
What a fantastic account, I've heard the assasination story told many times but not from a first hand account, I think the word splendid appropriate to describe this description
RIP Mick
Chris just wondering. What happened to Daltons Free state uniform. Is it still in the family possession.
Collins slightly round the bend? He was completely round the bend, standing up to fire during and ambush. They had spent the day dropping in for drinks as they went. The Big Fella was probably the worse for drink ... his natural courage swollen to reckless bravado.!
It's possible, but it would be difficult to provide direct evidence of alcohol being a factor. More likely, his lack of experience of and training in armed combat and behaviour in battle might be a more salient factor.
Truth will prevail,rte falling asunder,frank thornton rte interview is edited won't show the full interview,dalton stated he might of even shot collins by mistake, his family signed affidavit stating he shot Michael collins get your self's bottle kop on take a good swig amadans.😂
Canyou believe this.😮
The plot thickens.
Who was the regiment rgm inthis division.
Emmet Dalton passed away on March 4, 1978. Coincidentally, he was born on March 4, exactly 80 years before in 1898. This RTE Documentary is by now more than fifty years old. I am struck firstly by the great value this first hand account of Michael Collins assasination has from an archival and historical perspective. The account details as recalled by Major General Dalton are stunning. The level of detail and positioning of the players throughout the short but eventful fifteen to twenty minutes during the ambush is remarkable. And speaks to the brilliance of the man that is recalling that fateful day of August 22 1922 on the road between Macroom and Bandon, Co. Cork. The candid, lucid and detail filled account of the event that occured about fifty years prior is equally remarkable. For amateur historians and all those interested in Irish history in particular this documentary has been a real treasure. Thanks for making this possible.
Can't believe he had to hold him up for four hours on the way back to Cork.. plenty of time to think.. perhaps later he was glad to have had that time with him one final time..
He was right, it was a dum dum. Fired by Sonny o Neill
What year was this interview done?
Probably around 1976 or 77, I think
@@chris.dalton thank you!
Hi Chris are you related to Emmet Dalton
Yes, he was my Great Uncle
Hi Chris,are you related to Emmet Dalton
The Irish Civil War was a party I am glad I missed. I generally admired the British Empire for spreading the benefits of Western Civilization throughout the world and especially their stand against the Nazis during WW II. I understand why the Irish and other peoples wanted to break free of them. They have a superior attitude and no one wants to be treated as a second class citizen in their own land. I suspect this had something to do with the American Revolution. Strangely, I heard that if Britain were to join the US as the 51st state it would be like the US adding on another Mississippi.
We fought the wrong enemy, as Patton admitted.
I was still in the back of the car
Emneth was a good man Micheal knew that you can see.
was it not the old shanakeil hospital he was brought I live near there .
Thank you for posting this - it is so interesting and illuminating.
He was Collins security guard.
This is fake Emmett Dalton. I wanted real Emmett Dalton. The guy from the Wild West
With respect, you probably need to do a search for the Emmett Dalton you’re looking for. This Emmet (with one t) is not “fake”, he is a figure from history, just not US history. It is an inconvenient truth that there is a world outside the United States, we shall just have to come to terms with it…
Try reading the heading from now on. You will find that that might help esp if you can read.
Eammon t Dalton was and is an Irish Hero A Saint❤
Respect to Emuit Dolton he never fell into the British trap was kill ur own belief ❤
He died in 1978 on his 80th birthday. None of the ruling Fianna Fáil government ministers or TDs attended his funeral
Interesting I wonder the reason for that
@@seanohare5488civil war bitterness
Why would they ? His brother Charlie murdered several Anti Treaty prisoners at the Curragh. Charlie , who was a member of Collins Squad (barely 20 years of age at the time ) , struggled in shooting G Men but got over it when it came to shooting old colleagues during the Civil War . Emmet to his credit , wasn’t as bad. He had to make sure that the IFS soldiers in Cork City didn’t go on a rampage against Anti Treaty Heart lands and against IRA prisoners within the possession, after Collins was shot . Emmet however was manning the artillery at the Four Courts when the Battle of Dublin phase of the Civil War started . He was one of the main commanders , one of the supremely efficient commanders (in contrast to self promoters like O’Duffy and McKeown - both windbags , dining on 1-2 half decent raids during the Tan War, and did better for themselves immediately after the War ) . Emmet won the war in Dublin and again in Munster and unlike McKeown (a TD for Longford for decades) or O’Duffy (a top Garda Commissioner until he went crazy ) or even Joe Sweeney of Donegal (Army Chief of Staff) , Emmet was kinda left penniless and had to be a Dáil clerk (before the Ardmore studio stuff) So makes perfect sense that members of the government , who by then , were often sons of Anti Treaty Men , didn’t attend. (Haughey funny enough, his father was an IFS Officer during the war )
Interesting , Cathal O’Shannon’s father was Anti Treaty IRA and later Labour Party.
That’s always the way….those who talked a good show did better than those who do the work…the anti treaty side who were TD’s for FF in later years were as far as I’m concerned a party of traitors.
The senate a toothless body back then and still is to this present day .
I was introduced to the life of Michael Collins by a teacher in my secondary school, he became an hero for me at the age of twelve, I have always admired this man even though I am English, great men, really great men cross the boundary of nationality and Collins was a really great man what could have been achieved if only they had driven on.
He was a traitor to Ireland.
@@JamesRichards-mj9kw Don't be so stupid James. Pro-treaty or anti-treaty. Nobody ever in Ireland considered him a traitor. Only a few idiots.
A great history lesson for me , thank you .
I think it's funny from what I've seen pictures anyway the Daltons a lot of us have a pixie ear 1 ear points I could be wrong I would love to find out more
This wins some kind of prize as a random comment, and I had to look up the term pixie ear. Needless to say, no-one in the family had plastic surgery.
Emmet Dalton,one of Irelands finest.
Just look at the scumbags we have running Ireland today, what was it all for?
What a rotten shame the that great man Mr. Collins, was murdered by his own people, God Bless his soul...
He had betrayed Ireland.
@@JamesRichards-mj9kw DeValera betrayed Ireland by surviving at Boland's Mill. QED.
Always remember this great interview. I was at Michael Collins 100th assassination anniversary this year, also there on the actual day and commemoration. What amazed me with one speech that evening was the guy ended by saying the last words Michael Collins said was "Forgive them". This was a load of nonsense, not such words were spoken by Michael. Next year I hope the organisers while I commend them do not bring in this silly nonsense. Michael was almost (meaning a millisecond) if not instantly dead. May he rest in peace as I pray the same for Emmet Dalton, a great and honest man.
Did he shoot Micheal Collins they say he did even on TV not long ago a few months only that collins was shot in back and in head there was 2 bullets holes one on his coat . Then another person says collins was shot in Tyrone hmmm there so many lies out there especially one about he being shot in Tyrone why would a person say this and post it on a video on comments
No. You need to do some homework.
@@chris.dalton dune
Why did they have to kill him? He was one of the founding fathers of our nation. The things he did and he was only 31 when they ambushed him. Devalera sent him to London for talks and Dev knew he wouldn't have got a 32 united Ireland ,he didn't want to be the one to bring back the bad news .Michael Collins was the greatest Irishman of the 20.TH. Century I read that the Israelis studied him and they have a unit called "The Michael Collins unit" And their future prime minister Yitzahic Shamir's codename was Michael Collins ,and the Mossad are famed for their Intelligence Service
RIP Tadhg Kennefick, never forgotten.
Great men - sad times. They should have put the salute no the water from the British in the movie...
1/2 a dozen traitors
What a wonderful celebration of a great life. He wasn't a gombeen man, nor was he after the "plum jobs". To make a living, like millions of us after "independence", he had to go to the UK to work. According to WIKi, nobody from the Irish government attended the funeral of this great Irish patriot at Glasnevin Cemetery.
Dalton won the Military Cross at the Battle of Ginchy in the middle of the Battle of the Somme in 1916 at the age of eighteen for crying out loud. He was a major general in the Free State Irish Army by the age of 24.
cathal o shannon is a former british soldier r a f as it goes keeping up the old tradition of being canon fodder for the brits
Factually correct that he enlisted in the RAF in Belfast in 1945 (aged 16/17) and trained for Lancaster bomber crew duties in the Far East.
old dev killed more irish men than the brits did that bastard continued to execute former comrades something collins would never have done collins plan was to arm the oglachs to run the brits out of the six counties devs actions would have been no worse if a british lackey was in government dev was a devious man and not even irish but american born to spanish father/ irish mother and while he was poncing around america collins ran the war of independance it was disgraceful the way they treated their own to appease the brits aand it continued for years while our people were been burned out of their homes and murdered in 69 the so called republican part fianna fail did nothing and when haughy and blaney tried to arm their people they were charged by the so called republican party none of the free state parties are any good their atitude was were all right jack pull up the ladder leaving our people to suffer under the planters murderous bigots
The way they virtually chucked the coffin into the grave at the end, disgraceful!
How come a movie of his life never made...
Despite my name, I am English and served in the British army and only wish that there had been a lot more men on both sides like Emmet Dalton, he was a very good officer that knew his business and was a man of integrity, honour and principles and if there had been more men like him on both sides, then I am sure there would have been far less bloodshed and killing. I also hope that peace prevails in Northern Ireland, there has been more than enough killing in Ireland, north and south.
The irony, was that Dalton did fight for the British army in WW1 - this didn't serve him well in history, as conspiracy theorists suggested that he shot Collins...but that obviously isn't true(this more than likely would have been the irregulars\IRA), more like people trying to slur his name because of his Jackeen stance.
This man won the MC at the Somme when he was 18 years old !! His principled stance and resignation was a mark of the man.
Dalton also served in British army during WW1 .
@@patrickball2493 That's what the other commentors were saying. Even me, a so-called Plastic Paddy with his head up his arse, could tell that. Now if you're just taking the piss, fine.
Breaks my heart at what could’ve been.
