Concern over probe into schoolboy's custody death

Obsolete legislation from the 1920s is being used to inquire into the death of a schoolboy in garda custody, the Dáil heard today.

Labour leader Pat Rabbitte said that the Commission of Investigation Act passed last year would be more suitable to probe the death of 14-year-old Brian Rossiter rather than the Dublin Metropolitan Police Act from 1924 which was recommended by the justice minister.
