"Meehan starts Guerin murder conviction appeal"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Brian Meehan began his appeal today against his conviction for the murder of journalist Veronica Guerin - one day after the tenth anniversary of the gunning down of the crime reporter on the Naas Road in 1996.

Meehan (aged 41), a native of Crumlin in Dublin is the only person serving a sentence for Ms Guerin's murder on June 26, 1996. He was jailed for life by the Special Criminal Court in July 1999 and also given concurrent jail sentences of 20, 12 and 5 years for drugs and firearms offences.

The court found that Meehan was the driver of the motorbike from which a gunman fired six shots into Ms Guerin's body as she sat in her car stopped at traffic lights on the Naas Road.

Meehan was in court today for the opening of his appeal and spoke briefly to his father Kevin Meehan who was also in court. Retired Detective Superintendent Todd O' Loughlin, who was one of the senior garda officers in charge of the Lucan investigation team, was also in court for the hearing."

“Armed guard for Gilligan’s day in court”

By Andrew Phelan
Thursday July 30 2009

SNIPPET: “Former crime boss John Gilligan was brought to court under heavy armed guard over allegations that he was caught with a mobile phone in jail.”

SNIPPET: “He is accused of possession of a Nokia handset and Meteor Sim card at Portlaoise Prison on July 30 last year without the governor’s permission. The offence is under the Prisons Act, new legislation brought in in 2007.”

SNIPPET: “The judge remanded him in custody to appear in court again on August 3.

As he waited to be led out, Gilligan chatted with a prison guard and glanced around the courtroom.

Gilligan was accused and acquitted of ordering the murder of journalist Veronica Guerin in June 1996. He denied any involvement and was cleared after a lengthy trial in the Special Criminal Court.”
