Factual error: Tony Gregory, the politician that Veronica meets, is seen wearing a suit and tie. Tony Gregory the TD, made a point of never wearing a tie.
Veronica Guerin (2003)
Directed by: Joel Schumacher
Starring: Colin Farrell, Cate Blanchett, Ciaran Hinds, Brenda Fricker, Gerard McSorley
Factual error: When the General is shot as he comes out of his car, you can see an electronic black parking meter behind him. The film is set in 1996 and this kind of parking meter wasn't introduced until 1999.
Factual error: When the two Gardai (Police officers) are watching over Guerin's house after she was shot in the leg they are sitting in their car drinking coffee from Starbucks disposable cups. Starbucks did not enter the Irish market until long after the events dipected in this film. In Ireland at that time it would be more likely that they would be drinking tea out of a flask.
Veronica Guerin: You'd do the same. If you saw those kids on the street, you would do the same.
Veronica Guerin: It'll be worse for me, and it'll be worse for journalism or any journalist if I was to be intimidated. Then that means they've won, and they're not going to win.
