Police are investigating the link but security sources here told TheJournal.ie that it would be “highly unlikely that it’s the exact same weapon”. Brian Meehan was convicted of Guerin’s murder in 1999. Meehan was part of John Gilligan’s drug gang. Officers contacted gardaí who were able to help the Spanish authorities identify the other members of the gang.
Prosecutors argued that he intended to purchase a prescription drug in Spain for distribution on the Irish drugs market. His defence said it was a tenuous case.
'John Gilligan was running drugs and guns in Spain' - thank you Spain for hosting him. No need to return.
Never knew John Gilligan was only a little man. The trousers were falling down his bum hole
Drugs and guns don't have legs so how can he run them? Idiots
