Some of you might want to give this a listen, it's an interview with Michael Collins' secretary

Sorry, got that a bit wrong, she wasn't Collins' personal secretary but one of several secretaries that worked for him and other senior figures.

I just came across it on a Facebook Dublin group. I have to say, having listened to it, Molly sounded like a great character. It must have been great to look back on her life knowing she was a part of everything that happened back then.

So much Collins stuff in the media over the last 24 hours I wouldn't know where to start....

Tim Pat Coogan has done an excellent biography and Collins and Devalera, well worth reading

[KatieMorag]

I didn't realise Collins was so young, only 31 when he died

Yes he was quite Katie, but get hold of Tim Pat Coogan's book, honestly it is really wroth reading. He states the facts and does not glorify anybody
