The sentencing of former TD Colm Keaveney for driving under the influence of cocaine has been adjourned for the second time. Keaveney (54), Kilcrevanty, Tuam, Co Galway, pleaded guilty to the charge at Tuam District Court on September 9th as well as to two counts of driving with no insurance. The court had previously heard that Keaveney failed a roadside drug test in September 2023. The court heard he subsequently produced an invalid certificate and was later arrested by appointment and charged with driving with no insurance. On that occasion, he failed to stop after a collision with another vehicle and subsequently failed to provide a blood or urine sample.
