Parole Board don't give release date to Veronica Guerin's killer

Veronica Guerin’s killer is to remain in jail after objections to his release by her family.

Evil Brian Meehan has not been given a release date, even though he has been detained at the Shelton Abbey open prison in Co Wicklow for over a year. It is understood the Guerin family wrote a long letter to the Parole Board outlining why he should not be allowed back on the streets.

Meehan, 55, has served more than 23 years in custody since his conviction for her murder by the Special Criminal Court in 1999. He had been allowed out on a day release last June to go shopping in Arklow for a few hours.
