Hundreds of people watched the Kilkenny Historical Re-enactment group commemorate the 100th anniversary marking the death of Michael Collins at the Castle Park yesterday afternoon.

Michael Collins was killed in an ambush by the Anti-Treaty IRA at Béal na Bláth, as he returned from a tour of Free State garrisons in West Cork during the Civil War.
