Deadline for submissions to Rossiter inquiry expires Monday

The deadline for closing submissions in the inquiry investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of Brian Rossiter will expire on Monday.

The 14-year-old schoolboy fell into a coma while in Garda custody in Clonmel on the 10th September 2002, and died two days later at Cork University Hospital.

A post mortem examination revealed he died from head injuries.

Last year, the Minister for Justice Michael McDowell ordered a statutory inquiry into the arrest and detention of Brian Rossiter.

It is understood the report will be published over the coming months.
