Description:Michael Collins gave this "diary" to Sinéad Ní Dheirg during one of the raids on one of Michael Collins' various offices and asked her to read it and then destroy or keep as she might judge. Sinéad Ní Dheirg née Mason was Collins' personal secretary from 1919 up until his death in 1922. Collins was arrested in Dublin on 2nd April 1918 for apparently making a speech in Legga, County Longford, inciting raiding for arms. After a hearing at Longford Courthouse, he was remanded in custody and spent 3 weeks in solitary confinement in Sligo Gaol, where he kept an account/diary of his time there.
