As a member of the Irish Revolution hero Michael Collins family I have long been embarrassed by the depiction of the Irish people as drunken brawlers who believe in little men and live to drink green beer. Notre Dame ought to stop insult insulting people of Irish heritage.
I kinda wish that Collins would have survived to be Ireland’s first Uachtarán instead of De Valera. Even though he was the man who negotiated the Free State status, he was far more independence-minded.
