National Museum accused of hiding 'horror of civil war' by removing Michael Collins' cap from display

A grand nephew of Michael Collins has accused the National Museum of trying to 'hide the horror of the civil war' in removing the cap he was wearing when gunned down at Béal na Bláth from public display.

Robert Pierse, who heads a legal firm in Listowel said Michael Collins' cap should be immediately put back on display with his greatcoat which is exhibited at the museum.
