Judgement reserved as Meehan bids to have conviction for murder of Veronica Guerin declared miscarriage of justice

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 was not 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.
