Report says Gardaí withheld information on disgraced judge

Judge Brian Curtin was on a list of men who had allegedly accessed child porn on the internet before being appointed to the Circuit Court, according to a report in today's Sunday Independent.

The report said the Gardaí failed to tell the Minister for Justice that Judge Curtin was on a list given to them by Interpol in August 2001, three months before his appointment as a Circuit Court judge.
