Who killed Michael Collins?
Nearly 100 years after his death, the truth about who assassinated Michael Collins remains one of the greatest unanswered questions in Irish history. Collins was murdered at Béal na mBláth in Cork on August 22nd, 1922. At the time he was chairman of the Provisional Government of the Irish Free State. Why then was his death never properly investigated? Over the last century there has been much speculation about who fired the single shot that killed him. Will we ever know who did it?Guests: Art historian and performer Paddy Cullivan and Irish Times reporter Ronan McGreevy.Host: Conor PopeProduced by Declan Conlon, Jennifer Ryan and Suzanne BrennanOpening music by Hugh Rodgers www.irishtimes.com/podcasts Hosted on Acast.
