Curtin has two weeks to answer internet child porn allegations

TAOISEACH Bertie Ahern yesterday said the Government may well proceed with a move to impeach Judge Brian Curtin later this month.

Mr Ahern told the Dáil that solicitors acting for the judge had responded last Friday to the Government's letter asking Judge Curtin to explain how his credit card had been used to purchase child pornography from a US website.

He added that the Government had agreed to give the judge two weeks to reply to the letter.
