He signed it. - He was one of the delegates sent to the Peace Treaty by Eamon de Valera, the Dail president. Collins was not a politician,but a soldier and was out of place amongst the British leaders at the negotiations. He and the other Irish delegates opted not to sign the Anglo-Irish Treaty, but then agreed to after Lloyd George, the British PM, threatened them with renewal of war. Collins and Griffith [one of the Irish delegates] also signed the treaty without running their decision past the cabinet back home. Collin's was arguably the best supporter in the Pro-Treaty argument.
