Veronica Guerin's only child has given his first interview

The only child of murdered journalist Veronica Guerin has given his first interview since her death.

Cathal Turley was just six-years-old when Veronica was murdered two decades ago.

Veronica's murder led to the formation of the Criminal Assets Bureau and a clampdown on gangland crime.

In an interview with the Sunday Independent Cathal has said his mum simply wanted to help people: “I think her goal was to help the Irish people or the people of Dublin, whether that was criminals working in the banks, or criminals selling drugs on the streets, I think she would just have been after that.”
