Senator should get away from civil war politics

I FIND the comments by Fine Gael Senator Liam Twomey concerning the oration by Finance Minister Brian Lenihan at Béal na mBláth rather strange and out of place in the Ireland of today (Irish Examiner, August 12).

I have never understood how Fine Gael can lay a special claim to Michael Collins in the first place.

If memory serves me, Fine Gael was founded in 1933, but Collins was killed in 1922.
