Brian Meehan’s murder conviction appeal was adjourned in the Court of Appeal on 19 June 2015 for further submissions.

Meehan is challenging his conviction for murdering journalist Veronica Guerin, arguing that new evidence from the 2001 John Gilligan trial shows a miscarriage of justice.

The State sought two more weeks to respond, and the matter was put back for mention on 10 July, with dates to be fixed on 13 July.
