Geocache Description:

Veronica Guerin was murdered at the traffic lights at Newlands Cross, Dublin on 26 June 1996. She was an iconic journalist, and is best known for exposing the carefully constructed cover-ups of the Irish State and the Catholic Church in respect of the prevalence of child sex abuse, and the growth of drugs gangs in Dublin.


A headstone in the form of the front page of a newspaper in Dardistown Cemetery marks her grave. In the bottom corner of the headstone are the scales of justice placed above the refrain 'Be Not Afraid', taken from the book-marked page of the bible she was reading at the time. 

The main gate of the cemetery is locked at 6pm, but you can park in front and pedestrian access is available. The headstone is to the immediate right of the hut located to the fore of the cemetery, in the second row.

The cache is placed on the roadway immediately inside the gate, and before you reach the cemetery. It is a small plastic container, base of tree to the rear of the lamppost.
