A Brave Irish Woman



Ela é considerada uma heroína na Irlanda e todos se lembram o que faziam naquele no dia em que foi brutalmente baleada.
Na década de 90 os índices de criminalidade eram altos em Dublin e muito pouco era feito a respeito. Os traficantes de drogas transitavam livremente.
As passeatas contra os traficantes tinham pouquissima adesao popular.
Foi necessário o trabalho destemido de denúncias e investigação de Guerin para que as coisas começassem a mudar.
Todo o esquema de intrigas e corrupção eram tão grandes que inclusive o IRA estava envolvido.
Mas nada fez esta mulher extraordinária parar.

She is considered a hero in Ireland and everybody remembers what they were doing on the day she was brutally shot.
On the 90s the criminality rates were high in Dublin, and very little was done to change. Drug dealers walked freely. Marches against drug dealers had very little popular presence.
It was necessary Guerin's brave work of denouncements and investigations so things started to change.
All the scheme of intrigues and corruption were so big, even IRA was involved.
But nothing made this extraordinary woman to stop.

Recebeu terríveis ameaças por telefone, ela tinha um filho pequeno.
Mesmo sofrendo as piores violências, continuou firme.
Depois de seu assassinato os políticos resolveram mudar as leis do país. Milhares de pessoas (finalmente) foram às ruas para exigirem mudanças. Os níveis de criminalidade caíram muito. E isso se deve a apenas uma única admirável e corajosa mulher.
Esta estátua em memória da jornalista está nos jardins do castelo de Dublin.

She got terrible threats over the phone, she had a small child.
Even getting the worst violences, she kept steady.
After her murder the politicians decided to change the laws of the country. Thousands of people (finally) went to the streets to demand changes. Criminality levels felt down considerably. And all of this is due to this single admirable and brave woman.
This statue remembering the journalist is on the gardens of Dublin's Castle.
