In my opinion, I somewhat do think so, however I also do not. I believe de Valera made a great number of contributions to freeing Ireland, but these were not on the battlefield but more strategic plans. I myself am a big Michael Collins fan and de Valera let Michael Collins take the blame for a lot which left a bad taste in my mouth for Eamon de Valera. However the question is, is Eamon de Valera an Irish Hero, and the Answer is Yes, yes he is
Yes.
Eamon de Valera worked alongside Michael Collins in an attempt to liberate Ireland from English rule. While Michael Collins accepted the boundaries of the Irish Free State de Valera did not because he believed that all of Ireland, including the North, should be free of British rule. Eamon de Valera believed that if they continued fighting, they would succeed freeing all of Ireland.
Eamon de Valera's birth name is Edward George de Valera.
Michael Collins was never sendt to England to talk with the British government, in fact it was Arthur Griffith with Collins merely as an deputy. (The question and answer beneath seems to be based on the 1996 movie "Michael Collins" by Neil Jordan, not actual historical events.) After Collins and de Valera's army had settled down with the British, Michael Collins was sent to England to settle the terms de Valera and himself wanted for Ireland. The reason that is thought to be for Collins going instead of de Valera is because de Valera in fact knew that he would not be able to free all of Ireland but a portion. So de Valera used Collins as a scape goat so the Irish people would hate Collins for not freeing all of Ireland not de Valera.
