D-day for Curtin as Cabinet decides his fate

THE Cabinet is set to call the bluff of Judge Brian Curtin today by considering proposals to sack the Circuit Court judge.

Taoiseach Bertie Ahern yesterday ruled out any “sweetheart” pay-off deals for the judge if the Government decides to opt for impeachment.

But Mr Ahern indicated the Government would be making a firm decision on the action it will take against the judge after his refusal to resign from his position.
