Colm Keaveney did not speak during brief hearing at Tuam District Court
A former TD accused of driving under the influence of cocaine has had his court case adjourned until next September.
The 53-year old faces one count of driving with cocaine in his system. The offence is alleged to have happened on June 12th last year at Cummer in Tuam, Co Galway. Mr Keaveney was not in court when the matter briefly came before court in January and April but was present at Tuam District Court on Tuesday. The defendant did not speak during the brief hearing before Judge James Faughnan.
Mr Keaveney is before the court charged with driving a vehicle with cocaine in his system and that the concentration of the drug – known as Benzoylecgonine – in his blood was greater than the legal threshold, contrary to the Road Traffic Act of 2010.
