Call to hold judges accountable for their reports
The Irish Council for Civil Liberties was responding to reports in the Irish Examiner detailing reasons why retired judge John Cooke had turned down an invitation to address a joint hearing of the Oireachtas Public Services Oversight and Petitions Committee and the Oireachtas Justice Committee.
The two committees wanted Mr Cooke to clarify and expand upon issues raised in his report on alleged bugging of the Garda Ombudsman.
