Committee to resume Curtin hearings

THE all-party committee set up to gather evidence for Judge Brian Curtin’s impeachment hearing will resume its hearings at the end of this month.

The Oireachtas committee will meet on April 26 to hear submissions from the judge’s lawyers on his legal costs during the impeachment process, which could result in his being removed from his position.

The Supreme Court last week awarded Judge Curtin half of the costs of the High Court and Supreme Court challenges he took contesting the procedures adopted by the Oireachtas to remove him from office.
