Who was the most effective defender of Ireland?
By "defender of ireland", I mean, who in history did the best job of fucking up invaders/occupying forces not native to Ireland?

I always hear about how the Irish got their shit pushed in constantly, but I'm sure they had some competent commanders/fighters somewhere, maybe in Ulster?

And he filled it with shit.

Not to mention none of this would have even been a problem if he wasn't such an all or nothing retard when Collins was alive.

Dev was cancer, fuck him

>>1217230
Máel Sechnaill Mac Dómhnaill was pretty based, Aodh Ua Néill was good and Eoghan Rua was effective before the perfids poisoned him. Collins was the man.
