Michael Collins - Part 3
Shownotes
On the 22nd of August 1922, Michael Collins was shot dead in Béal Na Bláth, County Cork.
His death at just 31 ensured he would become one of Ireland’s most iconic figures, forever frozen in time.
This week on What Were We Like, we explore the complicated legacy of Michael Collins.
We also look at the significance of the revival of interest of Collins in recent years and the impact Neil Jordan’s film had on his legacy, despite taking some poetic licence.
