Wreath laid to honour Veronica Guerin

A wreath was laid yesterday by members of the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ), the NUJ and Amnesty International in memory of murdered Irish journalist Veronica Guerin.

The event, at the Veronica Guerin memorial in Dublin Castle, was timed to occur on the eve of world press freedom day.

Guerin was murdered on 26 June 1996 after exposing the criminal activities of Dublin's gangland in the Sunday Independent.

NUJ Irish secretary Séamus Dooley said the presence of the three most senior members of the IFJ was a fitting tribute to the memory of all those who have died for seeking the truth.
