But it's clear I think not only from my own sense and also from the book and from other stuff I've read at the time, there was definitely a feeling around Veronica
voice-verified
I think maybe a element of begrudgery from colleagues, you know what I mean?
voice-verified
That and I think it's reflected in that film, I know which Emily was quite dismissive of, but there was the kind of scenes of other journals being dismissive of her or being snooty about her.
voice-verified
There was definitely that sense towards the Sunday in that there were people being snooty about what it was doing.
voice-verified
But I like I think what Emily's book does, I think it articulates the other side of the story, the kind of the feeling around, you know, whether enough was sufficiently done.
voice-verified
I think independent newspapers and Engus and others have always insisted that they did everything they could.
voice-verified
And I I I'm not in a position to adjudicate it.
voice-verified
I think you know, I haven't worked there I loved my time in the Sunday independent I you know, owe Engus Fanning and Anne Harris a huge amount from in terms of my own career.
voice-verified
So like I'm probably not subjective, you know, fully uh on the mat.
voice-verified
matter either, like but like I just think it it's a very interesting episode about journalism in Ireland.
voice-verified
Yeah.
voice-verified
And I think what Emily O'Reilly's book does make clear and she made clear in the interview with you as well is it changed that dynamic that sort of style of reporting around crime did change post Veronica's death.
voice-verified
And obviously the introduction Cab and all the rest of it did change.
voice-verified
Did change.
voice-verified
So it did have a legacy there.
voice-verified
But I suppose
voice-verified
you know, there are those question marks.
voice-verified
There will always be I think when an incident like this happens, there will o you know, was enough done to protect her.
voice-verified
Yeah.
