Before Veronica Guerin there was When the sky falls. As this movie didn't receive 'official' approval it's been long forgotten. Shame, as Allen is impressive in the lead role. There's a good scene where she gets hassled by a group of skangers (Ireland's own Dead End kids: Gavin Kelty and pals). The main problem is that like the other version this is more of a routine TV drama. While other countries came out with Dogma 95, Irish cinema in the 1990s was more interested in using the ITV crime-drama template. Names are changed but you can figure out who's who.
