Friend: Rossiter got ‘a few slaps’ from gardaí
Daniel Leahy, who was also 14 at the time, said he couldn’t remember a lot about the night, but remembered getting hit in the Clonmel Garda station and was able to name one of the gardaí involved.
He also claimed in a deposition, made a month ago, that gardaí tried to “coerce” him into saying that Brian Rossiter had taken ecstasy tablets on the night of the arrest.
