Politicians to meet human rights lawyer over jailed jockey

THE campaign to free jailed Tipperary jockey Christy McGrath will be brought to the London offices of celebrated human rights solicitor Gareth Peirce today.

Two politicians from the county will voice their concerns over the alleged miscarriage of justice victim from Carrick-on-Suir, who is serving a life sentence for murder in Britain.

Tom Hayes TD and Senator Labhrás Ó Murchú will meet Ms Peirce during their weekend visit to London for the Irish community’s St Patrick’s Day celebrations.
