- "Michael Collins" is an Irish Ballad about the life of the famous Irish revolutionary and politician Michael Collins. August 22nd 2022 marks the 100th anniversary of his demise in an ambush near Béal na Bláth where he was shot and killed. Although his position as a general in the Free State Army makes him controversial among Anti-Treatyite circles, it cannot be denied that his actions during the Tan war were crucial in the bringing about of an independent Irish state.

Michael was true Irish and wanted the best for the country he loved. He was a hero to my father who lived in Ireland under English rule.
All the men at the GPO gave their lives willingly and should never be forgotten.
The GPO was in a sense a folly, but something had to be done and no one seemed to be stepping up. When they executed them, the evil being faced was magnified. It showed the moral bankruptcy of the English authorities. Hearts around the world mourned, as far away as Australia where a huge Irish diaspora had settled.
@@dougy6237 Maybe they were on a short fuse because they were fighting a war with Germany?
@@rewdwarf123 In fact the Irish were fighting the Germans in the divisions of the British armed forces. Your same "short fuse" caused the English to hoist Irish babies on pikes under Cromwell, to provided relief during the Great Famine on the condition the Irish renounce the Catholic Faith for Protestant heresy, to hunt priests and bishops like dogs, to strip the Irish of land ownership down to 20% and put it in the hands of Protestant landlords who controlled 80% To hell with your "short fuse".
To bad you irish shot him yourself in your civil war, then made a president out of his killer
@@rewdwarf123 an empire on a short fuse - it's days were numbered then.
Singing the chorus brings me, an Ami woman, to tears. My voice breaks every time. Long live Michael Collins, James Connolly, and all other brave Irish fighters! I have ancestry from the great land of Ireland, and from all over the British isles, Wales and Scotland in particular, where so many have been persecuted by the empire just as the Irish as well. I'm proud of my ancestry, and given that both sides of my family came after WW2, my mother's father's side only being here for as far back as her grandfather, they may have even fought by Collins' side. Michael Collins may very well be the reason I'm alive in the first place due to his work for the Irish people and their freedom. He's a hero of the people, Irish and otherwise. He's an inspiration to us all.
Respect from this Irish American to the memory of Michael Collins. A patriot who gave his soul and life for Ireland!!🇮🇪
R.I.P Michael Collins
1890-1922 Dead a 100 years
a man truly dies when everyone forgets him, his memory and his work in ireland wont go in vain
Aye. He as a grand man.
Dame he died so young
He's still alive in our hearts. I'm not from Ireland, but have heavy ancestry from the great land. Even if I weren't, I'd hold him in my heart as a peoples' hero.
@@cake_9510 Absolutely. Gone but NEVER forgotten. Tioch Ár lá.
Not so fun fact: we don't know the specific of Collins assassination because everyone involved was so ashamed afterwards they refused to talk about it.
Definitely wasn't ONeill anyway
As a direct descendant of the Big Fella, rest in peace Mick. You are spoken of in our family and never forgotten
@Fíonán Murphy he could be related to the family but like its still doubtful
Michael Collins was a brave man. A hero, just as Bobby Sands is. Both love Ireland & it’s ppl. 💖💖
@@CelticLegion does that really count as direct descendants
@F. Murphy love your comment the commenter is more than likely American no descendant at all 😅
Liar
Whether you support the treaty or not, we can all agree this man was a true leader and a true Irish hero, just as much a patriot as Brugha or any other anti-treaty martyr.
Bless ya lad, bless Eire, God bless us all
Im anti-treaty, Michael collins will always be my hero. Despite him being a pro-treaty.
@@kamikazefilmproductions back then the existence of Ireland as a nation was new and the treaty was seen as a way of stoping this rebellion from being snuffed out like the others.
I will always see Bobby Sands & Michael Collins as HERO’s of Ireland & it’s brave ppl. 🇮🇪
I think the treaty was the best he could get. Better half a loaf than none.
he was an honest hero of Ireland who did what he could to get Ireland free even if it meant statehood under dominion of England but he thought hat making Irish first a free state like Canada would give Ireland the liberty to be free and he died simply wanting to speak with an old friend Eamon Delevera and was ambushed by dev's own soldier he died wanting peace and while it took till after ww2 Ireland at least the southern part became free...he left a girl he was days from marrying...and wanted peace....and he died trying to acheive it....may you never be forgotten the hero of Ireland Micheal Collins
Well said 👏 🇨🇮
Rest In Peace Michael Collins 🇮🇪🇮🇪
He was a hero
It's hard man his death made me cry 😢 😭 💔 😪 😔 😞 rip 🙏 🕊
I'll never forget that hero 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪☘️☘️☘️💚💚💚 rip

@@carmencaamano9434after 800 years of the British trying to kill the language it's going to be on its last legs
As a Irish American, I love trying to find of the history of Ireland
Michael Collins a true Irish hero for all generations to know about whether you agreed or not with treaty this man is a true legend in my eyes and I’m proud he fought for Ireland. Irish American proud
One of my father's earliest memories was of his da's putting him on top of a postbox to get a good view of Collins' funeral.

Rest in Peace Michael Collins.My mother from County Cork always spoke fondly of you to me an English child.I have now lived in Ireland for many years but I knew all about Michael Collins before I ever came here.
Proud about you, Collins fella. Long live my Ireland! 🇮🇪
Long live Ireland
Michael Collins & Bobby Sands, 2 brave, strong leaders & hero’s of Ireland. God bless u’all. 🇮🇪 ❣️❣️
Bobby Sands died for Ireland. Michael Collins betrayed Ireland with the treaty.
@@loganwyatt7678 Collins didn't want more men to die, although I agree that Northern Ireland is proper Irish land, Bobby Sands murdered innocent civilians he was a terrorist.
Chalk and cheese.
Being Irish and seeing this brings joy to my heart. I love the republics and the socialists within Ireland, All memories to Michael collins
My Grandmothers cousin, Patrick Powell, married Mary Collins. May Christ reign once again in Ireland and drive out the cancer of Marxism. From Australia.
Collins famously said “socialism is not the Irish way”. He was a nationalist.
Socialism is a cancer. May God bless Ireland, and keep Ireland Catholic ✝️
@@dougy6237Even if you raise the green flag over Dublin castle tomorrow, unless you don’t establish a socialist republic, Britain will still rule you through its landlords, capitalists and financiers.

Loving the Irish songs good job.

Translation:
Love him Or hate him he was a known figure in Irish history

Michael was Irish to the core. He would have been a great leader for Ireland.

On this day, August 22nd in 1922 Michael Collins was shot in his native Cork near Béal Na Bláith by Anti-Treaty force when his convoy was ambushed
Ironically he was trying to secure peace between both sides of the civil war when he was shot

I just watched that movie and it should have been Dev who took that bullet
Mick knew the alternative was an out an out war with the suppressor - he took what was possible - Dev cowardly stepped away from the negotiations
Collins, o' Collins, what would the IRA have done without 'ye?
Third.
I’ve been overcome by the sudden urge to say ‘Third’

Irish Rebels songs hit different tho
why they sing "everyone wants a part of him, but not him all"?
He was a complicated man with many different sides of him, for one he had charm and mercy but could also be ruthless when needed, and his position during the Irish Civil War also complicates it even further, hope that answers your question
Read; Michael Collins. A life.
I’m a Collins, I’m not sure if a true descendant but- I hope so.
🤔Ja dann war mein Opa sowas wie Miterfinder!

Europe's history would be different if he listened to advices about possible assasination attemp.
".."
Is de valera or Micheal Collins right. I cant make a decision.
Michael Collins, he was the more realistic of the 2. Dev was delusional and out of touch, calling to continue the war even though he ordered an attack that drained the IRA’s manpower and supplies
@@DraftTheHippies But they since the beginning have any supplie they start the rebel with stealing british polices guns.I dont know maybe they can take the north.They not be figt for be a dominion.
@@Emircan_1871 the supplies you mentioned were wasted by Dev
@@DraftTheHippies But if the civil war dont be happen they maybe have a chance.I know they in a very though secuvation but the risk already exist since the beginning.I say like the cuban rebel and bay of bigs. You can be right but the all IRA fight for full independence and the republic.And the threaty dont give any of them.
@@Emircan_1871 if they fought on, there wouldn’t be an IRA to fight the British

Our founders were Marxist. Micheal Collins was serving Marxism until the Yankee got out of the death penalty
@@user-ze8yy8jg1f Incorrect. Collins was not even a socialist, let alone a Marxist. You are simply dabling in fantasy. The historical record shows he was a nationalist. He famously said "socialism is not the Irish way"
@@dougy6237 doesn’t like socialism but fights for socialism. I never said he was a socialist but he still joined them.
@@dougy6237 he also bombed Irish with British guns not a very nationalist trait.
