Sir, - Neil Jordan must be happy now that he included Kitty Kiernan, but not Lady Hazel Lavery, in his movie Michael Collins. Recent revelations by Meda Ryan in her book Michael Collins and the Women in his Life throws a new, and so far unexplored, light on the relationship between Michael Collins and Hazel Lavery - her espionage work.
The picture is far broader and deeper than that portrayed up to now. What about the gun running and intelligence work of the other women? Perhaps another film on Michael Collins, with the women. - Yours, etc.,
