Gerry Adams or Michael Collins?

Question

Will history repeat itself

Will Adams meet the same fate as Collins

Answer 1

Collins was set up, De Valera knew what he was doing sending him to London for talks, De Valera knew that he himself couldnt guarantee the objective of a free Ireland,
Adams is working on different principles and different objective and so they cant be measured against each other

Answer 2

Gerard Adams (Irish Gearóid Mac Ádhaimh[1]; born 6 October 1948) is an Irish Republican politician and abstentionist Westminster Member of Parliament for Belfast West. He is President of Provisional Sinn Féin, which became the largest nationalist, republican or pro-Belfast Agreement political party in Northern Ireland in the 2005 UK general election.

Adams is a spokesman for the Irish republican movement or the "Provisional movement" which encompasses Provisional Sinn Féin and the paramilitary Provisional Irish Republican Army (Provisional IRA), an illegal paramilitary organisation in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. He is widly regarded as playing a pivotal role in getting the PIRA to give up its "war" against the UK in return for devolved government for Northern Ireland. Senior political, security and media figures, including the Minister for Justice in the Republic of Ireland assert that, from the 1970s until mid-2005, Adams is alleged to have been a member of the Provisional IRA's governing army council [2]. He has also been accused of being the IRA commander in Belfast during the 1970s. Adams has denied that he has ever been a member of the IRA.

From the late 1980s, Adams was an important figure in the Northern Ireland peace process, initially following contact by the then Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) leader John Hume and subsequently with the Irish and British governments and then other parties. In 2005, the Provisional IRA indicated that its war was over and, barring hard line elements, the republican movement is now exclusively committed to democratic politics. Under Adams, Sinn Féin changed its traditional policy of abstentionism towards Leinster House in 1986 and later to take seats in the Northern Ireland Assembly, although the party retains a policy of abstentionism towards Westminster. For three years, it participated in the power-sharing executive committee (cabinet) in Northern Ireland, where it shared powers with the Ulster Unionist Party and the SDLP. (The Democratic Unionist Party appointed two ministers but did not sit in the committee in protest at the presence of Sinn Féin.)

Answer 3

the international has lost a real and uncommon celebrity interior the kind of Michael Jackson. by no potential has there been such an ideas-blowing skills as him. His skills and fan base has been whilst in comparison with that of The Beatles and Elvis, yet i think of its truthful to declare that he's a legend lots larger than the different band or artist. His songs have been fairly influential to the music international and set a extensive-unfold so severe that no longer something on account that has extremely in comparison. there has been no different artist who has finished such dizzy heights as Jackson. For me, Michael Jackson inspired me along with his dancing potential and his songs. there's no longer a music of his that i do no longer love. i comprehend many of the phrases to his songs, and ought to observe his dancing for hours on end. Now i wasn't some great fan, yet i've got self assurance he grow to be a real idol and that i do no longer think of the international will see any such skills ever back. i've got self assurance he grow to be misunderstood and his quirky (and now and back a touch off the wall) strategies have been taken thoroughly the incorrect way by the international. It saddens me that the international is any such judgemental and vicious place, and that i wish he might have seen how many unswerving and loving followers he had. RIP Michael Jackson.

Answer 4

It's possible. But since Collins was killed in a civil war action by former compatriots who thought he had sold out to the British and Adams is far more threatened by loyalist paramilitaries than he is by former compatriots, I think it's unlikely.
Adams, who has been the vitctim of attempted murder before, is far more likely to be murdered by a loyalist than a fellow republican.

Answer 5

Both completly different people, with completly different objectives.Collins was trying to get his country back, Adams is 90years later with much of our country back already.

We are more civialised, with poeple living in Northern Ireland with plenty of history of living on the land.

Easiest solution is to make it its own free state, neither reuled by English, nor Irish.
Thoguh will always be seen as one country by the Irish.

Answer 6

I doubt it. Adams lives in a calmer time where politics without violence seems to be taking over.

Answer 7

Neither

Answer 8

Ireland should be united

Answer 9
