DPP lawyers claim 'new evidence' was available before Brian Meehan's trial

Lawyers for the DPP claim the so-called “new evidence” mentioned in Brian Meehan’s latest appeal was made available to his defence before his trial, but wasn’t appreciated.

The 47-year-old, from Crumlin in Dublin, was jailed for life in 1999 for his part in the assassination of journalist Veronica Guerin.
