Inquiry into boy’s death too limited, says Labour leader

The inquiry, to be carried out by Hugh Hartnett SC, will examine the circumstances leading to the death of the Clonmel boy on September 13, 2002, and his prior treatment in garda custody.

“It has become increasingly clear that there are serious aspects of the Brian Rossiter affair which require investigation but which will be outside the limited remit of the inquiry announced by Justice Minister Michael McDowell,” said Mr Rabbitte.
