This week, we decide to educate ourselves on something which didn't really get taught to us at school or, we feel, get adequately explained to us as children... Irish history.
Specifically, the story of one man - Michael Collins.
A firebrand revolutionary, his story cannot be understated when it comes to the formation of the republic of Ireland. After ruffling so many belligerent, colonial feathers it should have come as no surprise that people would want him out of the way. But no official record exists of how he met his end in a violent shootout.
So just who did assassinate him in 1922?
