During the War of Independence he was Director of Intelligence of the IRA and a government minister of the self-declared Irish Republic. He was commander-in-chief of the National Army from July until his death in an ambush in August 1922.

He is reported as saying:

"The biggest task will be the restoration of the language. How can we express our most subtle thoughts and finest feelings in a foreign tongue? Irish will scarcely be our language in this generation, or even perhaps in the next. But until we have it again on our tongues and in our minds we are not free, and we will produce no important literature.”

A copy of the telegram from Collins to Churchill says:

We are hampered by the continued lack of material. We were promised two hundred rounds of high explosive at two A.M. The promise was renewed for five eight thirty with like result. The effect of this is to create great lack of confidence on our side amounting to grave suspicion. Essential that action be taken immediately otherwise situation will become impossible." 2/2
