Memorial plaque
A commemorative plaque was unveiled in the area in June 2002. It can be found amid the trees at the entrance to Boot Road, near the N7.
Initially, there were plans to name the bridge at Newlands Cross after Veronica Guerin. However, the idea led to political squabbling among some of the councilors in South Dublin County Council.
The plan was eventually dropped in 2015 after the journalist's brother, Jimmy Guerin, stated that the family did not want the flyover to be named after her if the idea was going to be turned into a "political football."
Guerin was killed just two days before she was due to give a speech at a Freedom Forum conference in London about journalists at risk.
