Specifically, where banks and banking were concerned, we know that he organised a superbly efficient Dáil loan and had a banking inspector who attempted to interfere with it, Alan Bell, shot dead. He did not hesitate to threaten force when banks policies threatened the newly formed Irish Free State.

When the Bank of Ireland refused the government a loan, Collins said that he was withdrawing the army guard from the bank’s headquarters: In fact there was no guard but Collins got the loan.

When the British proposed to transfer the Registry of British Government Stock from Dublin to Belfast and London, his reaction was ruthless and unequivocal: “There are several retaliatory measures we could take, and in fact must take if things of this kind go on.”

“Things” did not go on, the register stayed in Dublin, and a number of other moves initiated by the unionists were countered.

No doubt the catholic v proddy v brit crap will prevail.

I don't recall seeing any of this in the film about his life, that's for sure.
The true measure of a man is not his intelligence or how high he rises in this freak establishment. The true measure of a man is this: how quickly he can respond to the needs of others and how much of himself he can give - Philip K. Dick.
