Not really.

And I think the way that I would think about it is what would Veronica think if she was here today and how would her life have indeed unfolded?

And so Niamh Warren asked.

to Jimmy Guerin 30 years after her murder what would Veronica think of the scale and influence of Ireland's underworld today and Jimmy was silent and he said look I think she'd look around and say what an awful price to pay for nothing because her life was taken and we missed opportunities to bring about change
