Ireland’s First Female Private Detective, Co. Cork, 1966
Ойын-сауық
Christine Fielding from Douglas, County Cork is the only woman who heads a detective agency in Ireland or Britain.
She’s 24, attractive, a doctor’s wife - very different from the detectives conjured up by Ian Fleming and John le Carré.
Bill O’Herlihy chats to Christine about both the glamour and tedium of her job. From long hours sitting in a car observing a door, to industrial espionage and diamond smuggling. Christine has worked on various assignments in Ireland, the UK and on the continent. While it all sounds very glamorous, there is a dangerous element to the job.
Christine tells Bill how she got into detective work, the training involved and working her way up. She also talks about the advantage of being a woman in the detective business. Christine Fielding has set up a private detective agency in Cork that employs female detectives only.
A ‘Newsbeat’ report by Bill O’Herlihy broadcast on 8 March 1966.

Wow. This is amazing. An international lady spy from Douglas, Cork. I'd imagine she found it hard to keep her cover in Ireland after this was broadcast.
A strong independent woman. Good on her.
"A woman can follow a man or a woman". Everyone knows that women never commit the offence of stalking!😂😂. How times have changed!

Bill O'Herlihy.
Honestly she has way too, too much of the innocence of bygone times, especcially in Ireland back then but probably even up to the 80's to have been subtile. convincing or discrète enough to fulfil this role. BTW I very much wish that Ireland in particular but also ther world might have not have to adapt to where e are now
Feel like she's fibbing a bit.
She could've investigated me all she wanted

What about me? I am the most dodgiest person on you tube I should be investigated by this lady before anyone else.
She won't have been very private after this announcement!! Mannix, Magnum, Barnaby Jones, or Richard Diamond are the best known TV private eyes .

@@nobodynoone2500 She wasn't chasing criminals like Mannix or Magnum on TV.
Fantastic hair and hairline, but I seriously date her Columbo shenanigans matched her husband's legitimate income. A little side hustle, in a car that would have found it difficult to contain her hair and talent. Hey, that's just my opinion.
Hmmmm
Don't have much of an accent. For either or ither. Might be other than?
Was she a Double 00 Detective with a License to Kill? She was a beauty in 1966 and I would've tried very, very hard to win her heart back then when I was only 10 years old.
she's nothing but a store detective and a story teller
