Oireachtas committee meets to discuss Curtin investigation

The Oireachtas committee set up to investigate alleged misconduct by Judge Brian Curtin is meeting in private session at Leinster House today.

The Tralee-based Circuit Court judge was acquitted in 2004 on charges of possessing child pornography when it emerged that a search warrant used to search his residence had expired.

Mr Curtin's computer has since been examined by technical experts and its contents will form part of the Oireachtas investigation.
