Committee to seek access to Curtin’s computer

THE Joint Oireachtas Committee investigating the possible impeachment of Circuit Court Judge Brian Curtin is expected to demand access to his computer and files tomorrow.

The committee may also decide to serve a notice on Judge Curtin compelling him to appear before them after they ruled last month that he was well enough to co-operate with the inquiry.

Judge Curtin was acquitted of possessing child pornography last May, but the Oireachtas has ordered the committee to investigate the matter and to report back to it before it makes a decision on impeachment.
