Mr Madden said: “Their main concern at the minute is that they may be separated, sent to different prisons. “They are very concerned that might happen. They did not know each other before this started, they have now become best friends.“

A report on on the radio today stated that no memorial to Michael Collins exists in Dublin apart from a small bust in Merrion Square. It is worth noting that in fact there WAS and it was removed in the 1940s.
It was originally a temporary memorial [in plaster by Albert Power] to be replaced by a permanent structure but De Valera had it removed during The Emergency (Dail question about the matter here). Then replaced it in 1950 by the ‘almost invisible obelisk’ by Raymond McGrath.Nice downsizing, Fianna Fail…
