Exclusive: Sources say Meehan (57) is closer to freedom with a day out of prison every month since October. Ms Guerin's brother Jimmy told us he is 'disappointed' with the decision.
Veronica Guerin ’s killer Brian Meehan has been granted monthly days out of prison without any escort, we can reveal.
He was allowed to travel to Dublin to see family and to walk the streets of the capital with a day out that month, in November - and is due another day out this month. “I think it's predetermining anyway for the next parole decision because they’re obviously preparing him for it.” Meehan, who was part of the John Gilligan-led mob that carried out the murder of Ms Guerin at Dublin’s Naas Road on June 26, 1996, was rejected full release by the parole board only last year. He has been housed in Shelton Abbey open prison since 2021 - where he has enjoyed much more freedom than a closed facility - and certain luxuries such as being able to play golf on the jail grounds.
The prison sells or donates the eggs within the local community, as well as consuming them within the prison. Inmates can also train to be a barista on top class coffee machines - in a bid to help them get a job when they are fully released. The prison provides various activities and amenities for its inmates including woodwork, arts and crafts, computers, French, English, maths, music, literacy, cookery, physical education, pottery and golf.
