And a cardboard cut-out of Michael Collins.
Ithankyew.
This morning.

To my knowledge, Michael Collins was never a member of Fine Gael.
It’s the FFG rewriting of Irish history.

“ On January 27th last, the main BBC television news bulletin carried what it described as “a rare interview” with Leo Varadkar. During its introduction the then-taoiseach was seen with the BBC’s political editor Laura Kuenssberg gazing up at a large portrait of Michael Collins. He told her, “This is Michael Collins, one of the founding fathers of the country and the founding father of my party.”
There are at least two problems with the claim that Collins founded Fine Gael. First, Collins died on August 22nd, 1922. The official Fine Gael website states that, “Fine Gael was founded in 1933”.”
Spot on Gigidy. Right about this time
