  • i remember crying to this, watching it with my mam when i was 8 years old!

    her life has such an inspiration in my life.

    rip Veronica.

  • Bitch was killed for talking on her cellphone while driving.

  • @BettorOffSingle fuck off

  • Comment removed

  • I was born on June 26 1996 ;/

  • Fuck them fuckin scumbag basterds who call them selvse gangsters!! The death of a mother, wife, and i beautiful woman over who writes about ther scumbag stories!! fuck the scum! us IRISH r better than that!

  • that was a really disguising thing that happened 2 veronica ..................why r people so cold ???

    

  • The same happened in Brazil with one of our judges. Her name was Patricia Accioli and she was murderer with 21 shots by military officers who were being investigated for corruption.

  • in the funeral scene around about 4.20 mark you can see the actor who played gerry 'the monk' hutch in the background attending veronica's funeral, surely this did not happen in real life?? he was a criminal who veronica at one point in the film accued of being thhe man responsible for shooting her, i cannot find any information which states he attended or did not attend but as a career criminal i think it must be a mistake

  • at the end of the day, her death was not worth it.Crime still strive, there are more drug lords.She shouldnt have put her life at risk.People aint worth it.If the cops cant do shit,let it be.I know...its hard to swallow, but its life.Apart from her close family and friends,who really remembers her now?The general public dont give a shit.Her son is without his mum,and for what?it wasnt worth it.May her precious soul rest in peace.

  • Just watched it on tv again haven't seen it in years. She was one of Ireland bravest without doubt !!

  • @GarGPS me too forgot how good it was....  she was a wonderful person RIP

  • @GarGPS What channel was it on? Yeah she was brave and did make a difference. Is bravery worth it though?

    If you had to choose.... Would you watch your son grow up and grow old with your partner? Or Would you be happy to die knowing that it would make a significant difference to a cause you believed in?

    Personally, I'd go with the first one. Peace of mind is peace of mind.

  • @musicmatterstome105 BBC1. But would she want him in a world where he scumbags thought they could do as they wished?

  • It´s really sad when honest and straight person die. That´s happening here in Mexico. It´s almost full of criminal groups fighting about the land, killing innocent people.

  • So moving this story, I have a new HERO. Just saw last night brilliant productions so sensitive and bye the way you can now put up 15 minutes of youtube Yippie

    Happy Labor Day from California 2011 <3

  • RIP brave woman

  • a bloody good film xxx

  • One of the best Irish Films out:) so sad:(

  • She was Ireland's rose :(

  • the songs are???

  • its getting worse

  • Its what should stood for which makes her death important... she was a great journalist, cared about other people more than herself . Not many people like that.

    RIP Veronica one of our most treasured investigative Journalists.

  • and drugs and murder were never a problem in Ireland ever again!

  • R.I.P

  • aw ya cut the fields of athenry bit. =(

  • How could people do such a thing over worthless drugs.

  • This was one of the best movies I ever saw... It's all about what life is... And songs – so touching.

    I think about Veronica Guerin over and over... She was great woman.

  • She was a great and brave woman. God bless her.

  • i don't give a shit about ANY journalist she just fucked with some people that she shouldn't of...but her death passed alot of laws...

  • @johnm8h can i just say i am a journalist and small minded petty little people like you who probably sit on their arse all day slagging off people who actually get out and do soemthing to change things, get a life

  • @rogerfederer23 journalists are no more than fucking flies on dead children's corpses!!! kill em all! they speak lies failed story tellers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Why did you cut it? and changed the song? =(

  • @xParentalADVIsORYX I didn't change the song, and I had to cut it because the video was too long otherwise. Sorry for the harsh transition, back then, I didn't master WMM as I do now =)

  • @thecelticspirit You do know you get 10 mins not 6 on youtube

  • @ebayaddict19 The whole sequence was longer than 11min. And the movie's there if you want it complete :)

  • What car is she driving?

  • @christophertreanor33 Opel Calibra. At least I think that's what they are in Ireland?

  • onore a te Veronica

  • The world must've shit on you from an early age I presume.

  • i remember the day, i was home i was and 12 or 13 then me ma started crying but didnt know why?

  • She's a brave woman!

  • She's a brave woman!

    

  • She's a brave woman!

  • The Movie is great!!!

  • Está jornalista... é o meu espelho, é o meu orgulho. Ser jornalista, bem como Veronica Guerin, é para poucos. Sempre sonhei em ser jornalista, mas quando conheci a história da Veronica, meu coração estremeceu e decidi, ser um jornalista, com os preceitos eticos e morais dessa mulher maravilhosa.

  • "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. (Martin Luther King Jr.)"

  • RIP VERONICA

  • does anyone know the name of the song being sung in irish near the end?

  • @kratosisgod12 The Funeral - Sinead O' Conner, it's on the sountrack

  • poor verinica you were the only one to stand up to those scum bastards theyl rot in hell your the best woman and always will be pity she had just been allowed drive

  • powerful stuff & kate blanchett did a propergood job at the accent

  • Its amazing how the monk seen at 4:53 in the background attented her funeral(he did do that in real life not just the film) after all the aqusations, she cause, he still had respect for her and her work amazing how the impact of someone like her work could have on the likes of him.

    Truly amazing.

  • @Horan28 he wasnt there in real life U THICK

  • @wasspoppin111 yes he did it said it in the newspapers..NOW WHOS A THICK?..gangster wannabe..

  • This was an extremely moving film, covering the life and death of the remarkable Veronica Guerin. Two Thumbs Way Up!!

  • theres a boy in my year who claims to be her nephew :(

  • Great woman. Terrible film.

  • Greed batstards are flooding the country with terror and death through their Heroin deals.

  • I salute you, Veronica, givng a life for those less fortunate is indeed a gift beyond the norm.

  • I feel slightly sorry for her kid, husband, family etc...but thats about it...

  • she will always be remebered as a woman of couarage helping others when no one would

  • @MrMARK90000 well said MrMARK90000, dia is muire dhuit

  • whers de bit wit john gilligan. "im gonna kidnap ur son and im gonna ride um, and im gonna shoot u nd im gonna fukn kill ya" best bit. sum1 link de shit out of me

  • great movie , another amazing character portrayal of an incredibly brave woman by kate

    sadly veronicas fight against the pathetic clowns that took her life , is just a reflection of the dark side of the traits of how tragic and self serving the human race can be , another case of typical losers who have 2 sets of standards, one for themselves and another for others , they dont care for the mayhem and grief they cause for others, but how dare anyone do something they dont like . rip veronica

  • I think it was Dutchy Holland who actually pulled the trigger? Cant believe yet another year has gone by...where does the time go? x God Bless Veronica xx

  • I liked the film, and I am glad that they got the guys behind it and that a change happened.

  • it really breaks my heart to see that there was no help ore justice for veronica guerin.

    Rest in peace with god.

  • The Song is "Killing" by Harry Gregson-Williams. Brilliant composer. Did the Chronicles of Narnia too

  • @flamingoherder Yes !!, great theme in this scene !!

  • Here in Brazil everybody knows who they are drug dealers, but they are powerless over the situation, pretending not to see the police say he lost control of the situation, the traffickers use children to sell drugs because they know they are protected by law absurd we have here, I think this war, we all have lost is a shame.

  • she needed to die

  • @irishbollix get a grip

  • @irishbollix You know your really sick, I guess you

    love drugs more than a persons life???? You get a grip.

  • @irishbollix yea and if someone said that about your family member or someone trying to turn their country around. you forgetting that a young boy had to grow up with his mother, a mother had to bury her daughter and a husband who lost the women he love. You need to stop sniffing and get a life, only ones who deserve to die are those who had killed people

  • one more day sinead oconnor

  • She was so brave.

  • what is the name of the song?

  • R.I.P Gilligan your a cunt i hope u die a slow death

  • @darragh91 HELL DIE PEACEFULLY IN HIS SLEEP

  • rip veronica you stood up to those basterds they shot her so many times to try kill her sick

  • RIP Veronica

  • Enough that if the global policing agencies legalized dangerous and lethal goods such as non-legal narcotics, the global economic shift would be a hundred times worse than it is now. Put all the people on those drugs and then you've got others not going to work, showing stupidity, and dying left and right. The current measures are in place to protect lives, and they do just that. How many people do you think OD a year?

  • I watched the movie and to be honest i dont have to courage to watch it again. Because it really breaks my heart...

  • Fewer drug users, fewer scumbags.

  • Thanks ,my plans are not to go immediatley for the gards im going to hopefully get into the air corps after school spend four years in that then go for the gards it will be very helpful as the gards look at it as youve already done 4 years service l also you will get extra pay with a degree in college also the air corp will help as i will have to do shift work the odd time I also am a member of st john ambulance so that will help aswell.

  • nah i know a hell of gards and yes they say to me go for another job but aload of gards have told me i would make a good one because i have a good bit of sense also ive had trouble with so many scumbags so i want my revenge in away

  • one of the reasons i want to be a gard to fight back againnnst these scumbags that call themselves gangsters

  • @ryanair737400 Sorry but your not gonna make a difference.

    I know your intentions are good but this country is turning into total shit.

    And the truth is that it is getting worse everyday. I live in a place in Dublin

    called ballymun, iam 23 yo and i use to be one of them, Ive changed my ways a long time ago but compared to the bastards of today, we were angels.

  • i saw a documentary on her murder in my country. in some real footage, she talked she never thought that her family might be threatened by the target she forcused, and never had gone into journalism.

  • planned murder no matter what anyone says

  • little boys doing patty crime until veronica guerin made them in to bigger deals then they were

  • Veronica Guerin makes me so proud to be Irish! And it WAS Gilligan.

  • i love gilligan and his gang

  • @johnneybebad wats so good bout them there all locked up ya sap

  • Will some good come to Ireland ever? When will the term Saints and Scholars ever apply again? Someone do something to turn these confused boys around, Shouldn't they know better?

  • brave women veronica guerin !

    and cate was so wonderful in this movie, she´s a really amazing actress :)

  • Could anybody here tell me the name of the song that is being played when those hitmen get on the bike to murder Veronica??

  • its called FIELDS OF ATHENRY which is a funeral song,hope this helps alex

  • Thanks Alex, that should do....

  • giligan should be givin the most inhuman death possible for what he did

  • Dealers are the scum of the earth. I have to laugh at some of the comments tho', the spelling and grammar alone show the inarticulate morons that are posting such rubbish! RIP Veronica Guerin!

  • Rest in peace Veronica Guerin, i hope your soul is in paradise with god.

  • RIP Veronica, you saved so many bairns lives by exposing the evil bastards that promote drugs among the young.

  • Comment removed

  • You're obviously some kind of junkie or dealer who takes offence at your kind being exposed. Your time will come.

    Because they are on drugs...

  • strixq..................

    .SPEED

    .DRIVING USING A MOBILE PHONE

    .DANGEROUS / RECKLESS DRIVING

    .ILLEGAL PARKING CAUSING AN OBSTRUCTION kill more than drugs do every year ! thats a fact.

  • Are you trying to defend drugs and the murder of Veronica by putting the blame on her. Speed driving or mobile phones isnt the killer - its drunk driving and even worse ppl on drugs, who kill most ppl in traffic every year?

  • are you on drugs? fucking sounds like it !

  • No, I guess that's where we differ

  • Maybe you should try to put caps lock on off...

    What fucking planet do you come from?

    Reckless driving is a cause of drugs and Mobilephone (Jeeeeeze...) does NOT kill more people than Drug/drinkfuckingdriving.

    Drugs/drink driving and driving a TIRED, KILLS MORE people.

  • I saw the movie and at the time I worked with undercover cops in a support position. Veronica wasnt arrogant, she was trying to expose the drug dealers for what they were and are, murdering daft pricks! She got no support from her paper, just like all the crusaders worldwide who try to expose the human traffickers, drug dealers and the governments dont want to know.

  • @bigoutlaw1 BRAVE HAS THE SAME MEANING ALL OVER THE WORLD ALL RESPECT FOR VE

  • @bigoutlaw1 She was arrogant. She didn't learn the basic lesson of survival: DON'T SNITCH. Why does she care about drug dealers/ Not like she could stop them. No, she wanted FAME and this gave her a chance to appear moralistic while doing so. Anyone who fights injustice ges a similar result. we live in a world where people don't care about right or wrong, and trying to fight it is DUMB. Stupid bitch.

  • @HypnosisForInsomnia Wow! She saw the damage done to the youth by the drugs and wanted to report on it, she's not the first. There are thousands of people around the world who fight injustice who are still alive. She made the brave choices because that was her job to report on issues. You sound like your glad she's dead and thats horrible.

  • @bigoutlaw1 oh polease. I'm jus saying that no one cares about evil, and no one helps those who fight it. If I told you the injustices I fought, you'd say "get over it" to me. Well, I did. Part of that is no longer supporting the stupid likes of Veronica Guerin, who got what any idiot could have seen coming.

  • @HypnosisForInsomnia I hope you change your mind.

  • @Ceaaa22 Yes, loving a rattlesnake will stop it from biting you. Enjoy your fantasyland.

  • @HypnosisForInsomnia I'm a realist, but remain an optimist.

    ...until some arsehole kills me.

  • Respond to this video... I don;t live in fantasyland... I remain a realist, but still hope for the best.

    ...and evil triumphs when good people stand by and DO NOTHING.

  • @Ceaaa22 Nice bait: if I mention any injustice I've endured, you'll turn to "get over it," or "you broughrt it on yourself" or "that's the way the world is."

    Well, that applies to Veronic Guerin as well. She was stupid to fight evil, just as anyone is stupid to expect others to fight the evils they face.

  • @HypnosisForInsomnia unbelievable comment! sure why bother having a police force at all! all your comments here are borderline retarded, "It's pointless. Does drug dealing still go on? Yes. She accomplished NOTHING".

    Ok so if you stop one burglar does that mean burglary is still not gona go on??? What did she achieve?? Tell me where does Tosser or Gilligan reside at the moment? Certainly not at Jessbrook! She done more work than the Gardai ever would! ever here at CAB?

  • @jamesmcgove Police are PAID to fight evil. regular citizens are not. It's lame to tell people to risk their lives or jobs to fight crime or evil when others aren't willing to do so themselves. In fact, when someone is harmed by that, people avoid them. Smart people mind their own business.

  • @HypnosisForInsomnia well, then the cops weren't doing their job

  • @HypnosisForInsomnia your right got shot in the leg shud of know fuck this think bout me faily no fuk it kill me ill be famouse dumb slut b brave me boollox

  • Talk, talk, talk. She is dead and her killers are alive. Talk does not protect you from Bullets. Naive fool, who believed in fairy tales.You meet a knife with a gun and a gun, with more guns.The arrogance .Riding around like she dint have a care in the world. Well I guess she found out how well her words work against bullets.The meek shall not inherent the Earth ! Only the clever.

  • You miss the point rich.  Loads, like me, learn of her sacrifice and what she stood for. There's no saying how many like me have learned to reject drugs and those who sell them to kids.

    She may be dead, but her cause is strong and I believe is winning.

  • Comment removed

  • she should be keepin her hands on de wheel,could of killed someone !

  • Comment removed

  • shup ye spa

  • drug dealers are scumbags

  • I literally couldnt see i was crying so much- god rest your soul Verronica you are a hero and you should be canonised

  • The music is incredible.

  • The answer to our present crisis with drugs gangs..would be for the Government to invite Hickey back on a consultancy basis. It is the only way forward...he is a hero who has never been fully honoured for his work.

  • Hickey and his men had been the last of their kind to stand up to the tyranny of organised crime in Ireland..the way the gardai are being treated..their kind will never be seen again!

  • Hickey and his team were honorable men..there was not one dirty cop among them..god bless them for the thankless job that they did..to find thugs castigating them..is hardly surprising.

  • guards probably paid dutchy to do do it if it was him that pulled the trigger.which is not definate but probable.

  • it was actually a senior bunch of guards that had her shot and pinned it on the the gilligan crime gang. they wanted to get him badly,and this was a sure way to do it,i know this for a fact. r.i.p veronica, you were bravery will be remembered.

  • Thank you for sharing this. The movie is gripping and I think everybody should watch it. Not for how low a person can sink, but for the difference she made, and for the difference each and everyone of us can make if we want to.

  • thats lousy! i hate havin these scumbags living in ireland theres so many of them in cork like!! ...rip veronica

  • filthy scumbags

  • i hate killers but thiefs it's OK in some countries in Africa or whatever if u don't Thief something u will die like a dog in the street

  • We are killing our drug lords but then we are not democratic country. Thank you Europe. Faith in Christ for better Croatia

  • :( very sad :'(

  • I would like to know how veronica's son is doing now. how all this affected his life....

    he should be proud to have had a mother like that. a strong incorrupt woman who spoke her mind and didn't allow anyone to intimidate her. i take a bow in front of you veronica guerin. I wished we had more people like you walking this earth.

  • I love this movie. !!

    I remember all the people that protested after she got killed.

    They all walked by my house and i was only 5 i think at the time

  • Its a pity the Government eventually turned the guards against them when it became an inconvenient truth. They're still ignoring the problem to this day and won't let communities do anything about it on their own.

  • Well said Tiffany

  • To all the arseholes saying she deserved to die, sort yourself out. Nobody deserves to die for doing their job, she was especially good at hers and good on Veronica Guerin for exposing the scummy gangs in dublin.. They deserved it.

  • Well said ...I agree

  • @Tiffanyxo1 im not for one second saying she deserved to die.but as clever as she was i think she was equaly as stupid.when she had a narrow escape the 1st time she should have backed off.i mean she was writing about these people so she knew what they were like.instead,ina way she wanted to be a have a go hero and it cost her her life!!

  • @Tiffanyxo1 She was one of the most caring individuals to have lived. She gave her life for others. How can people be so heartless?

  • @spillilllyrics Oh please. If she was caring, then everyone else was horrible. Sorry, but that's not the way the world is. People know better than to fight criminals like Gilligan. It's pointless. Does drug dealing still go on? Yes. She accomplished NOTHING. Sick of feel-good liuberals praising the other guy for taking the risks they're too scared to take themselves.

  • @HypnosisForInsomnia She obviously was caring, because she cared enough to do what she did - whether or not you agree with the approach does not make her any less caring. Nor does it imply everyone else was horrible - what kinda logic is that? If she was horrible would it make everyone else caring?? You can be sick of crispy creme doughnuts for all I care. I have every right to praise who ever I wish to - the fundamental point of my praise is the fact that I dont have th guts to do what she DID.

  • @spillilllyrics Eeryone else didn't fight this. That's why this stuff thrives.  Like most troublemakers, she got a lot of fame and money for herself, so she wasn't altruistic. Besdies, it's stupid to fight evil. Evil always wins.

  • @HypnosisForInsomnia Evil always wins? Pessimistic at best. However, only my opinion. I'm sure you have Your reasons for having yours. Nonetheless, as entitled as you are to your opinionn, I am to mine. In my opinion she was making plenty of money Anyway. She didnt need to take risks like she did to fulfill her materialistic wishes. Everyone else did not fight this - it was you who bought 'everyone else' into it in the first place. No one will know her motives. She is dead. Lets respect That.

  • @spillilllyrics Yes, evil always wins. That's why incompetent and corrupt people are rich, and good, brilliant people are poor. Evil has more power. People do a lot better than they stop pissing off criminals, that's for sure. Veronica would have been wise to learn what DO NOT SNITCH means. Pessimistic or not, that's the way it is. Who's going to stop evil: YOU? Oh sure, go throw on your cape.

  • Sick, pathetic, illiterate idiot! I pity you. You will end your sad, sick life in a gutter.
