Michael Collins relationship with Moya Llewelyn Davies and the Irish Civil War 1922-1923

The Lavery’s arrived in August 1922, the day after Arthur Griffith died suddenly. They spent a lot of time with Michael Collins now Commander-in-Chief of the Free State Army. They were with him when two attempts were made on his life, once when his car was riddled with bullets and another when a sniper was apprehended in the grounds of The Royal Marine Hotel in Dun Laoghaire. Within a week Collins was dead, shot at Beal-na-blath near his home in Cork
