- Colm_Keaveney abstract "Colm Keaveney (born 11 January 1971) is an Irish Fianna Fáil politician. He was elected as a Labour Party Teachta Dála (TD) for the Galway East constituency at the 2011 general election, He sat as an independent TD after losing the Labour whip in December 2012. He resigned from the party in June 2013, and joined Fianna Fáil in December 2013. He is a former Chairman of the Labour Party.He is originally from the village of Garrafrauns, in north County Galway.He was an unsuccessful candidate for the Galway East constituency at the 1997 general election. He was first elected to Tuam town council in 1999. Keaveney was elected to Galway County Council in 2004, gaining just under 2,000 votes in the Tuam electoral area.He is a former SIPTU trade union official and former President of the Union of Students in Ireland (USI).At the 2011 general election, he was elected as the first ever Labour Party TD for the Galway East constituency. He was elected after the ninth count with a total poll of 10,126 votes. At the 2012 Labour party Conference in Galway, he was elected Chairman of the Labour party. On 13 December 2012, he voted against the government on cut to the respite care grant, which formed part of the 2013 budget, leading to his loss of the Parliamentary Labour Party whip. In a tweet just before the vote in the Dáil, he said "Acta non verba", Latin for "deeds not words". He remained as Chairman of the Labour Party, as he was elected by the party members. Keaveney subsequently resigned from the party on 26 June 2013. Keaveney vocally opposed the government's X-Case legislation, both because of the absence of a time limit for termination and because he feared that the "suicide" clause would "normalise" suicide at a time when it was already becoming a serious problem in Ireland. He had previously expressed pro-choice views, telling a Tuam Town Council debate in 2000 that abortion was ‘the last resort for women and every aspect of a woman’s decision should be looked at and taken into consideration’ and that anti-abortion literature distributed by colleague Martin Ward was ‘sickening and offensive’.In December 2013, he joined the Fianna Fáil party. Keaveney said that Fianna Fáil ".. has learned from its mistakes in the past" and he would be a Fianna Fáil candidate at the next general election for Galway East, despite the lack of support for this move by "rank and file" members of Fianna Fáil.He is the Fianna Fáil spokesperson on Mental Health and Special Needs.".
