    She was a decent journalist .I'm. sorry for her family. But she hardly deserves a book or front page on the Irish times magazine. It's the incestous Irish media promoting their own small pond

    There’s been books about far less “deserving” people put out. So why not Keelin Shanley?

    She was a sad loss but the magazine in the Irish times? I know the independent goes in for minor celebs but give me a break. Who buys these books?
    I see that andrea Corr was peddling her book again in the Sunday IND. She has her millions why can't she leave us alone?
    The same for keelin' s husband. I am sad for your loss but she hardly deserves a book

    A peculiar form of begrudgery.

    A woman writes her own memoir while dying of cancer and her bereaved husband sees it through to publication.

    If you don't appreciate the act of love involved in that process just forget it.

    I think the public liked her and will be interested, so there is coverage. When I saw her husband being interviewed I thought, I would like to read that book.

    Your reading list must be pretty slim if this is a priority

    Pokemon Go has been downloaded over a billion times.

    I have no idea why, but I don't lose sleep over it.

    Some people have different interests to you, that's the way of things.

    She was a central figure in Irish broadcast journalism form many years. I would be interested in her perspective on key events or her experiences in her career. I'm not sure which approach the book will take.

    It's a way for her to earn money for her kids after she's gone (a perfectly honourable and proper thing to do), if she only wanted to leave a story for her kids she would have done just that.

    She anchored the 6.01 news and presented Prime Time with others - two of our biggest current affairs programmes. In my opinion she was quite a significant journalist.

    What exactly is your point, who's hijacking the national press, if you are not interested, don't read it, no one is forcing you to and maybe other people are interested in this,

    What a talented broadcaster and Journalist Keelin was. She was so bright and enthusiastic. I genuinely thought she had beaten Cancer but it came back with a vengeance. She was due to travel to the U.S. to participate in a drugs trial. R.I.P. Keelin

    What a baffling thing to get annoyed about.

    A pleasant, talented and intelligent lady is all I ever saw.

    Leave us alone? They're not doing anything to you! This material is so easy to avoid. Not sure Keelin's husband has millions, and you asked who buys these books - not you, and that's all that should matter to you. Definitely not worth getting even slightly riled over. Nobody is hijacking the national press - all of the other current information is still readily available.

    that's the most restrained "fck off OP you total cnt" post - and totally applicable -that i've seen in this forum.

    and...well done!. :)
