A lock of hair belonging to Michael Collins has sold at
auction for more than €21,000.
And a revolver the republican leader reputedly had when helping spring future Taoiseach Eamon De Valera from jail in 1919 has also gone under the hammer, selling for £9,000 – roughly €10,600.
The items from the War of Independence and Civil War era were sold at a militaria-themed auction in Belfast.
