[edit] Healy as British Agent?

There is an interesting suggestion in Tim Pat Coogan's book on Michael Collins that Healy may have been a long standing British agent code-named Thorpe: and that Michael Collins' near unmasking of the identity of Thorpe may have played some part in Collins' death. Coogan does not come to any definite conclusion on this suggestion: but certain aspects of Healy's career would make much more sense if he had been a British Agent. Is there any more evidence available on this point?

[edit] "Brilliant"

The writer of the article fails to support his/her view that Healy was "brilliant". Like many others, I can think of very many adjectives to describe Tim Healy. "Brilliant" is not one of them.El Gringo 05:00, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Removed the 'brilliant' claim since nobody has defended it. El Gringo 22:29, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
