Bizarre detail
editForgive my frankness, but it's a poor thing that her life and career can be summed up in little more than half a dozen sentences (with no mention of family, upbringing or interests outside journalism), yet we're given a bizarre detail like the model and colour of the car she was murdered in.
Please, I beg, somebody who knows her story well do a better job than this. This is the sort of entry people make jokes about. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.42.71.249 (talk) 01:24, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
- Amen. There's so much more to this individual than her shooting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.146.50.17 (talk) 18:12, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
Removed unproven link and related text
editI noticed in the text it states that she attended trinity college.The link leads to answers.com,which is hardly qualified proof, and is highly unreliable. Also, a book titled" Veronica Guerin, the life and death of a reporter" written by Emily O Reilly (which is reliable) contridicts this unproven statement — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.97.54.72 (talk) 23:12, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
