Parents to take action against state

THE parents of schoolboy Brian Rossiter are to proceed with a High Court action against the State over their son’s death.

Family solicitor Cian O’Carroll said the case, which has been on hold for several months, can proceed and he expects developments early in the new year.

“I think the balance of probabilities-type evidence which was given at this inquest would be very persuasive in a civil case and it would give great optimism for a successful outcome,” he said.
