Was Michael Collins gay? asks new book on Irish hero

Though the ‘Big Fellow’ was engaged to Kitty Kiernan at the time he was killed, in 1922, there is still speculation about his sexuality, writes Ryle Dwyer.

We have a gay Taoiseach and we legalised gay marriage in 2015, but was one of the key founders of the State, Michael Collins, also gay? A new book indicates that he might have been.
