Will legal representatives be asked or summoned to appear before an inquiry? Following the committee inquiry in regard to impeachment of Judge Curtin, legal fees of €2 million were sought and that was in respect of attendance at only a few meetings. It is hoped that will not happen again. What sanctions will be in place in respect of people who, having been called as witnesses to attend before the committee, do not co-operate and opt to take the fifth amendment?
