For tourists coming to Dublin, O'Connell Street's monuments provide an insight into Irish history - the Spire aside.

With the GPO located there and a number of statues depicting historical figures like Daniel O'Connell the Emancipator, Big Jim Larkin and Charles Stewart Parnell, the period dating from the 19th Century through to the independence struggle sees the light of day.

Yet, another major figure is conspicuous by his absence, not only on O'Connell Street but beyond.

Surely, Michael Collins merits a major monument dedicated to his memory in the nation's capital.

Exactly 91 years on from his assassination, there is a statue of 'The Big Fellow' in Clonakilty, Co Cork and a bust in Merrion Square but other than a few attempts like the launch of a commemorative coin collection last year, there is scant regard - in physical sense - for his prominent role in the fight for independence.

Of course there are certain individuals like columnist Kevin Myers who see him as a "wretched failure" and a murderer.

There is also the lingering legacy of the 1921 Anglo-Irish Treaty - a document which Collins co-signed and described as his "his actual death warrant" which would unfortunately prove prophetic.

But for millions of people including our own George Hook, Collins is a true Irish hero who used the only means at his disposal to try to liberate this country from the choking claw of colonial rule.

With the economic situation in the country, perhaps commisioning a major monument would prove expensive for now. But in the long-term do you think a prominent statue of Collins should have pride of place in Ireland's capital?
