Inquiry into Rossiter death set to conclude in July
An adjourned inquest hearing into the death of 14-year-old Brian Rossiter was put back for mention again in July by Cork City coroner Dr Myra Cullinane. She was told that criminal proceedings against a young man accused of assaulting the dead teenager will not proceed until after the inquiry was completed.
The inquiry, set up on the order of Justice Minister Michael McDowell, is being held into the circumstances of the boy’s arrest and detention at Clonmel Garda station in 2002.
