Let the Big Fellow rest in peace

Ninety-one years after he was killed in an ambush in West Cork, it is surely time to allow Michael Collins to rest in peace.

Put bluntly, the annual trek to the monument at Béal na mBláth has lost its purpose. There just isn’t anything more to be said or written about Collins.

God knows, enough has been said and written already, some of it nonsensical and some of it bordering on the preposterous.
