Michael Collins

This is the story of Irish nationalism and separatism from 1916 until 1922. Collins’s footprint was on every street, laneway, and alley of Dublin, but especially of Dublin 1. This is the story of those locations, as well as of the men and women associated with Collins in Ireland’s capital city from the time of the Rising until his untimely death in 1922. He once famously said that ‘Whoever controls Dublin controls Ireland’.
