In episode 3 of Veronica, we follow the journalists' final moments, as John Gilligans plan to murder her, swings into action on Dublin’s Naas road. Her murder, 30 years ago today, left a nation shocked, and in no doubts just how dangerous Ireland’s gangland had now become. Kevin Doyle speaks to Jimmy Guerin, Paul Williams and Mary Wilson, about the trials that took place, and Veronica’s lasting legacy.
