February Court Battle over veracity of rival books

The O'Beirne siblings are taking Kathy O'Beirne to the Dublin High Court on February 19th 2008 ostensibly over the carrying out of their late father's will but outcome shall depend on competing claims to veracity of two opposing books.
Three years ago, Kathy O'Beirne garnered sympathy with a circuit court judge telling him she had suffered a lifetime of abuse and here was a copy of her book to prove it - Don't Ever Tell. She claimed her father told her verbally that he would leave her the family home after he and his wife died. However his written will said the family home was to be sold and proceeds to be divided equally among the nine siblings.
Now her family are challenging her story completely, saying she was never abused by her father, and never in a Magdalene Laundry. 'Here, is another book, Your Honour, called 'Kathy's Real Story' which tells the truth and shows what she was really up to.'
Seats at ringside in the High Court should be in high demand.
