Judge Curtin’s financial records now being targeted by inquiry

THE Oireachtas committee inquiring into Judge Brian Curtin has now turned its attention to obtaining his financial records, following the official handover of his computer yesterday.

The all-party committee, chaired by Fianna Fáil TD Denis O’Donovan, yesterday officially took possession of the computer, which allegedly contains images of child pornography.

The handover followed an 18-month legal wrangle that culminated in a Supreme Court ruling last march which upheld the view of the committee that it was entitled to take possession of the computer.
