Former TD banned from driving after refusing to provide urine sample after crash
Colm Keaveney (54) appeared before Judge Sandra Murphy at Carrick-on-Shannon District Court Ex Fianna Fáil TD Colm Keaveney banned from driving for four years after refusing to give a blood or urine sample following a late-night collision last year Former TD Colm Keaveney has been banned from driving for four years after refusing to give a blood or urine sample following a late-night collision in Co Roscommon last year. Keaveney (54), of Kilcreevanty, Tuam, Co Galway, appeared before Judge Sandra Murphy at Carrick-on-Shannon District Court on Tuesday. He pleaded guilty to two offences including failing to stop at the scene of an accident and refusing to provide a blood or urine sample following his arrest. All offences related to an incident where Keaveney drove on the wrong side of the road, without his headlights, and collided with another car, in Co Roscommon last October. He had been charged with dangerous driving, driving with no insurance and failure to produce his driving licence, but all three charges were struck out. Keaveney was initially elected as a TD for the Labour Party for Galway East in 2011. He subsequently joined Fianna Fáil. Colm Keaveney He was most recently a councillor on Galway County Council, but did not stand for last year's local elections. Inspector Gerry Curley told Judge Murphy that Keaveney had been observed by Garda Colm Dowd driving a Ford Focus on Bridge Street, Boyle, Co Roscommon, on October 11 last year. The court was told the car was on the wrong side of the road, with no lights on, and collided with a Kia Ceed. Inspector Curley said Gda Dowd observed the Ford Focus failing to stop after colliding with the Kia and continuing a distance along the street before pulling over. 'Very apologetic' for the incident. The court heard that when Keaveney got out of the car, Gda Dowd noted he was 'glassy-eyed' and there was 'a strong smell of alcohol'. Keaveney was arrested and brought to Carrick-on-Shannon garda station, where a nurse attended after 11pm to take a blood sample. Keaveney declined to allow the nurse take a blood sample or to voluntarily provide a urine sample. Judge Murphy was told Keaveney had opted to plead guilty to refusing to provide a sample, contrary to section 12 of the Road Traffic Act. He also pleaded guilty to failing to stop, having collided and caused damage to another vehicle during the same incident, contrary to Section 106 of the Road Traffic Act. Solicitor Martina Moran, of Gearoid Geraghty Solicitors in Galway, told Judge Murphy that her client was 'very apologetic' for the incident. Judge Sandra Murphy She said Keaveney was a 55-year-old self-employed man who, at the time of the offences, had been on heavy medication following spinal surgery. She told Judge Murphy that her client scratched against the other vehicle and did not immediately stop because he was looking for a safe place to pull in. He is very apologetic and understands it was a serious matter 'It wasn't the case he was trying to evade gardaí,' Ms Moran said. At the time of the incident, Keaveney had lost two parents in quick succession and had been a carer for both. The court was told he has no previous convictions. Colm Keaveney. Photo: Tom Burke Ms Moran handed in a medical report detailing Keaveney's back injury, and Judge Murphy asked was it the suggestion that his back problems interfered with his driving during the episode. 'No, it is in the past, but it is a recurring problem,' Ms Moran said. 'He is very apologetic and understands it was a serious matter.' Judge Murphy noted there was 'a difficult background' with the case, and said Keaveney was 'not a person commonly before the courts'. She disqualified Keaveney from driving for four years on the refusal to provide a sample, and also fined him €250. The other offence pleaded to was taken into consideration.
