Rossiter ‘out of control’ when brought to station
The inquest into his death was also told that the 14-year-old boy’s father arrived at the station later in the night and declined an invitation to see his son, and also declined to bring him home.
The member-in-charge of Clonmel Garda Station said that when Garda Jennings brought Brian Rossiter in after arresting him on suspicion of a public order offence, the teenager was “out of control” on arrival. “He was using abusive language and was very violent in his behaviour,” said Garda Anne-Marie Coogan. “He was striking out, trying to free himself.”
