During the 1960s Fine Gael was out of power and Costello was leader of a group of younger politicians who wanted to move the party to the left. He persuaded the party to publish a document called ''Towards a Just Society'' which supported economic planning and more government intervention in the economy. However, the party was never really committed to the policies in this document. In 1973 Fine Gael were back in government and Costello was appointed Attorney-General . He served in that position until 1977 when he retired from politics. He was subsequently appointed President of the High Court. |
