As for executing Dev. Hard to think of the Republic's history without him. But it was by the skin of his arse that he escaped that fate.
Obviously without his credibility, determination and madness, the anti treatyites would have been mortally weaked. Reduced to its rump of the angry left and the military wing. It makes you wonder if Lemass and McGuinness would have been as effective in their leadership as Dev.
Given by the 30's faith in Cumann had gone as a governing party, I wonder who - without Dev - would have emerged as the anti Cosgrave opposition. Cant see it being Labour. Cant see a blue shirt type opposition emrging.
Like I say hard to imagine what politics would have been like without Dev.
