Better than Sheridan's effort
6 July 2021
This benefits from the French family's perspective that Sheridan's version lacks as the family asked for their content to be withdrawn as they felt Sheridan's version was biased in favour of Bailey. More professional, factual and reveals more evidence enabling the viewer to make a more circumspect assessment of what might have transpired and who was responsible. Difficult to believe that anyone will be brought to justice after all this time but the ingredients to the story are the main reasons why our view of it is so opaque: breathtaking incompetence, lies, false testimony, cheating, corrupt Garda, subjectivity, mental health, a peculiar community of low-grade "artists" and "sculptors" apparently attracted by Ireland's 1997 "artist" tax exemption law, living in "idyllic" west Cork that has been more accurately described elsewhere as desolate as the ends of the earth. None of the characters are likeable, which seems to feed the eerie, weird oddity of the place and life there.
