About this episode

Veronica Guerin's killer Brian Meehan is gearing up for his release from prison after being transferred to Shelton Abbey open jail where he enjoys rounds of golf, days out, and a private cell unit akin to a self contained apartment.

So, has Meehan served his time more than 26 years into a life sentence or will his notoriety affect his chances of parole?

Nicola speaks with Niall Donald about Meehan and his prospects of freedom in the foreseeable future.
