Bid to impeach Judge Curtin looks a lot like a smokescreen

AN ARGUMENT being put forward to justify the impeachment of Judge Brian Curtin is that circumstances have rendered it impossible for him to continue on the bench.

Another argument if that impeachment is the only way that the Government can terminate the employment of a judge.

Some say the very fact that the allegation of purchasing pornography, even if it was only adult pornography, should be enough for the Oireachtas to conclude that he is no longer fit to sit as a judge.
