The Deirdre O’Shaughnessy Podcast: The daylight murder of Kieran Quilligan

Questions remain about how a small-time drug dealer who lived at home with his parents and used his mother’s car to dispose of the body became a killer

Deirdre O'Shaughnessy discusses the case of Kieran Quilligan with court reporter Liam Heylin.

Audio recording from on-street cameras of a row over €200 worth of crack cocaine, footage tracking the victim’s evening stroll across the city centre, and a phone call to gardaí from distressed residents who heard a man being beaten with a hammer were crucial to this case being solved.
