Abstract

This paper suggests that the feud between Michael Collins and Eamon de Valera, although well documented and indisputable, should not hide what the two founding fathers of modern Ireland had in common : a parallel experience, a similar political outlook, a shared vision of Ireland's future, and much the same pragmatic frame of mind. Hence the tragedy of their estrangement. Despite the bitterness of their enmity, there is nothing to substantiate the theory of de Valera 's direct responsibility in Michael Collins's death.
