Getaway driver in bouncer murder gets life

THE driver of the getaway vehicle used in the killing of Limerick bouncer Brian Fitzgerald outside his family home five years ago was yesterday given a life sentence for his role in the crime.

Two other men allegedly involved in plotting the murder were acquitted at the end of an 18-day trial at the Central Criminal Court in Cloverhill.

Gary Campion, aged 24, of Pineview Gardens, Moyross, was given a mandatory life sentence having being found guilty of Mr Fitzgerald’s murder on November 29, 2007, by the unanimous verdict of an all-male jury.
