The brother of murdered journalist Veronica Guerin has called for TDs to back calls for Virgin Media to reconsider broadcasting its documentary on gangster John Gilligan.

Jimmy Guerin wants other politicians to back Justice Minister Helen McEntee and junior drugs minister Hildegarde Naughton who have criticised the broadcaster for showing the documentary, which contains an interview with Mr Gilligan.
