Veronica Guerin
posted Monday, 16 January 2006
I just finished watching the film 'Veronica Guerin' about the Irish journalist who was killed in 1996 for investigating drug crimes in Dublin. I've wanted to see it for some time. I remember her murder but felt such a wave of sadness, greater than I originally experienced, at seeing her story so powerfully portrayed by Cate Blanchett. Her death resulted in great changes in Ireland around tolerance of the drug world. Sad that it can take such great losses to effect great change in our world.
