State fails to reactivate man's sentence

The State has failed in a bid to reactivate the six-year balance of a sentence on the brother of Brian Meehan. Brian Meehan is currently serving a life sentence for the murder of journalist Veronica Guerin.

Bradford Meehan, aged 32, of Stanaway Road, Crumlin who was released from prison last April after serving four years of a 10-year sentence was arrested for allegedly helping a fugitive evade the gardaí earlier this month.
