Truth About Kerry (2010)
A young American woman is found dead on a beach in Ireland under mysterious circumstances. Her best friend, refusing to believe it was an accident, travels to the remote fishing village to investigate what really happened to her.
It drags on for another 15 years. They arrest the wrong guy. There’s a tribunal. The end

Don’t say you weren’t warned.
The Irish Times reports:
“Independent News & Media has drawn up a new editorial charter that requires journalists to get the written approval of the managing editor before writing any “sustained or repeated adversarial material concerning individuals or organisations”
“Clause seven deals with “fairness” – “Journalists will strive to be fair in affording individuals or organisations the right of pre-publication response,” it states. “A decision not to afford such a right of response will only be taken with the written approval of the editor or designated editorial executive.”
“It then adds: “Sustained or repeated adversarial editorial material concerning individuals or organisations will only be maintained on the basis of justification in the public interest with the written approval of the managing editor.”
How do like them apples?

Buff LA-based, TMZ gossiptard, Peter O’Riordan (above), from Cork, talked this week about singer Cody Simpson (top) and his plans to meet up with Justin Bieber in Ireland.
No wait, come back.
This was BEFORE warning his colleagues that Bieber may get into trouble if he starts boozing in Ireland.
O’Riordan FULMINATED::
“If he mouths off in Ireland man, in a bar, you might be losing your little Bieber, like. I’m dead serious man. If he carries on the way he carries on here, in Ireland – he’ll get battered, like.”
The warning prompted another colleague to UNLEASH:
“Ireland: come for the Guinness, stay ’cause you’re in a coma’.”
Oh yeah.
Them’s fighting words.
Hang on.
Watch here

Doubts have emerged on whether Magdalene women who have previously received compensation because they resided in industrial schools or other institutions will qualify for further payment under the new scheme.
The president of the Law Reform Commission, Mr Justice John Quirke (above) is to recommend criteria to be applied when assessing provision in terms of “payments” and supports such as medical cards and counselling services to the Magdalene women.
A Department of Justice spokeswoman said the issue of further compensation for women who were sent to the laundries from industrial schools – and were thus compensated by the State Redress Board – “will be considered by Judge Quirke”.
Support groups for the Magdalene women said it would be difficult to quantify the number of women who received compensation through the Redress Board – but Claire McGettrick of Justice for Magdalenes said it would be “at least dozens”.
She said “without exception” every woman she had spoken to who had dealt with the Redress Board had been told “not to speak” about being compensated for time spent in laundries. “One woman told me that her solicitor just drew a red line through her time in the laundry.”
Tough gig, your honour.
Tough gig.
New redress scheme may not include all Magdalenes (Mary Minihan, Colin Gleeson, Irish Times)
