Quotes by Tim Pat Coogan (?)

“I remembered going to confession to a great priest, Father Moriarty of South William Street. I told him, "I shot a man, Father." "Did you think you were doing right? Had you no qualms about it?" he asked me. I told him I didn't have any qualms, I thought I was doing right, and he said, "Carry on with the good work," and gave me absolution.”
― Tim Pat Coogan, Michael Collins: The Man Who Made Ireland

“John Mitchel’s famous declaration that God sent the blight but the English created the Famine.”

“Redmond Howard, a politically aware witness to the Rising and a critic of the rebels, wrote in its aftermath: 'There never was, I believe, an Irish crime -- if crime it can be called -- which had not its roots in an English folly.”
― Tim Pat Coogan, 1916: The Easter Rising
