AS a member of the Church of Ireland, I found the spectacle of the funeral of Katy French in St Patrick’s church in Enniskerry to be shocking. I thought it lacked quiet dignity and reflection. It became a day for the minor glitterati, for our four-wheel-drive society. Katy French was a child of this culture. Many are sad about what happened to her. But this is surely not the example to be setting the young? Did anyone talk about what we might learn from her death? Of the type of life she lived which led to her sad early death? Of the sort of society we have become and what we can do about this? Of the media hype of people like poor Katy?
