Is there a source for saying he went to Terenure College? I can't find one and this article doesn't list it among his schools. Irlchrism 14:23, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Accused

I was surprised to search the article and find no mention of this documentary. Why was it not included? I managed to find some info on this on the BBC's Panorama section and have included a link. Maybe there should be more, but all I can find at the moment are various transcripts. I think it merits a mention. abdullahazzam

[edit] Bibliography

The list of published works needs to be compiled into a proper bibliography. Templates exist for just this purpose. I will be attempting to compile Keane's books into some kind of standardised format as it may make them easier to reference. abdullahazzam

Fergal Keane has had a hand in writing three or four more books not mentioned on the current list, plus a couple of audio books. These books should be added to published works, with the audio books in 'cite audio' format. abdullahazzam

[edit] OBE honorary, or...?

Is his OBE honorary, or is he a "dual"? I can find no mention of the former, numerous source simply say he has an OBE. Alai 17:33, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unctuous

"unc·tu·ous /ˈʌŋktʃuəs/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[uhngk-choo-uhs] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation –adjective 1. characterized by excessive piousness or moralistic fervor, esp. in an affected manner; excessively smooth, suave, or smug." It seems to sum up his style nicely. Every dying child, a photo opportunity. The article hardly reflects his awful, solipsistic approach to the news. --OhNoPeedyPeebles (talk) 19:11, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
