Gardaí to question Gilligan drug gang members

SENIOR gardaí are expected to travel to the Netherlands this week to interview two fugitive members of John Gilligan’s drug syndicate.

Peter Mitchell and Shay Ward fled the country shortly after the murder of crime reporter Veronica Guerin in August 1996.

They were arrested last week by police officers in the Netherlands as part of a major British-Dutch operation against an international drugs network.
