ARTICLES RELATED TO Michael Collins Irish leader - The Provisional Government | | | |  Michael Collins Irish leader - The Provisional Government: Encyclopedia II - Michael Collins Irish leader - The Provisional GovernmentUnder the Dáil Constitution adopted in 1919, Dáil Éireann continued to exist. De Valera resigned the presidency and sought re-election (in an effort to destroy the newly approved Treaty), but Arthur Griffith defeated him in the vote and assumed the presidency. (Griffith called himself President of Dáil Éireann rather than de Valera's more exalted President of the Republic.) However this government or Aireacht had no legal status in British constitutional law, so another co-existent government emerged, nominally answ ...

| | | | Michael Collins Irish leader - The Provisional Government: Encyclopedia II - Michael Collins Irish leader - Early life Michael John "Mick" Collins was born in Sam's Cross, near Clonakilty, in County Cork, Ireland in 1890. Although most biographies list his date of birth as October 16, 1890, his tombstone lists his date of birth as October 12, 1890. His family, muintir Uí Choileáin, had once been the lords of Uí Chonaill, near Limerick, but like many Irish gentry, had become dispossessed and reduced to the level of ordinary farmers. Yet their farm of 145 acres (0.9 km²) made them wealthier and more comfortable than most Irish farmers of late ...

| | | | Michael Collins Irish leader - The Provisional Government: Encyclopedia II - Michael Collins Irish leader - Sexual rumours Collins' sex-life was surrounded by rumour, both during and after his lifetime. Though engaged to Kitty Kiernan, opponents and associates suggested that he had sexual relationships with, Lady Hazel Lavery, wife of the Irish painter Sir John Lavery, and Edith, Lady Londonderry, wife of the 7th Marquess of Londonderry. While the writings of both women do suggest an infatuation and both did explicitly claim to be his lover during his life, no verifiable evidence has been produced. Lady Londonderry's claims have been dismissed by many as fantasy ...

| | | | Michael Collins Irish leader - The Provisional Government: Encyclopedia II - Michael Collins Irish leader - Collins' legacy Michael Collins has gone down in Irish history as one of the great "what might have beens". A man of extraordinary intelligence, incredible passion but most of all a monumental work rate, his loss was a disaster for the nascent Irish state. Despite opposition, he had supported and supplied the IRA in Northern Ireland throughout the civil war, a policy which was quickly discontinued after his death, and it is doubtful he would have regarded the findings of the Irish Boundary Commission with the same equanimity as his successors. His loss was ...

| | | | Michael Collins Irish leader - The Provisional Government: Encyclopedia II - Michael Collins Irish leader - Footnotes Note 1: Most agree that the IRA of 1919–21 had the general sanction of the Irish people and Dáil Éireann to act as the "Army of the Republic". The majority of Irish people believe that the IRA's legitimacy was passed on to the new Irish National Army, established in 1922, and that later organisations calling themselves the 'IRA' (whether the Official IRA, the Provisional IRA, the Real IRA etc.) had little legitimacy and only tenuous links with the earlier army of the Republic. A small republican minority disagrees ...

| | | | Michael Collins Irish leader - The Provisional Government: Encyclopedia II - Michael Collins Irish leader - The Treaty The negotiations ultimately resulted in the Anglo-Irish Treaty, which provided for a new Irish state, named the "Irish Free State" (a literal translation from the Irish language term Saorstát Éireann, which appeared on the letter-head de Valera had used, though de Valera had translated it less literally as the Irish Republic2). It provided for a possible all-Ireland state, subject to the right of a six-county region in the northeast to opt out of the Free State (which i ...

| | | | Michael Collins Irish leader - The Provisional Government: Encyclopedia II - Michael Collins Irish leader - The Easter Rising Michael Collins first became well-known during the Easter Rising in 1916. A skilled organiser of considerable intelligence, he was highly respected in the IRB, so much so that he was made 'financial adviser' to Count Plunkett, father of one of the Rising's organisers, Joseph Mary Plunkett. When the Rising itself took place, he fought alongside Patrick Pearse and others in the General Post Office in Dublin. The Rising became (as expected by many) a military disaster. While many celebrated the fact that a Rising had happened at all, bel ...

| | | | Michael Collins Irish leader - The Provisional Government: Encyclopedia II - Michael Collins Irish leader - The First Dáil Like all senior Sinn Féin members, Michael Collins was nominated to seek a seat in the 1918 general election to elect Irish MPs to the British House of Commons in London. And like the overwhelming majority (many without contests), Collins was elected, becoming MP for South Cork. However, unlike their rivals in the Irish Parliamentary Party, Sinn Féin MPs had announced that they would not take their seats in Westminster, but instead would set up an Irish parliament in Dublin. That new parliament, called Dáil Éireann (meaning ...

| | | | Michael Collins Irish leader - The Provisional Government: Encyclopedia II - Michael Collins Irish leader - Minister for Finance In 1919, the already busy Collins received yet another responsibility when de Valera appointed him to the Aireacht (ministry) as Minister for Finance. Understandably, in the circumstances of a brutal war, in which ministers were liable to be arrested or killed by the Royal Irish Constabulary, the British Army, the Black and Tans or the Auxiliaries at a moment's notice, most of the ministries only existed on paper, or as one or two people working in a room of a private house. Not with Collins, however, who produced a Finance Ministry t ...
