Colm Keena
Public Affairs Correspondent
Colm Keena is the the public affairs correspondent with The Irish Times where his areas of interest include business controversies and the interaction between business and politics. Keena's report in 2006 about the Mahon Tribunal’s inquiries into payments to the then Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern, created a political crisis. His refusal to cooperate with the tribunal’s inquiries into the source of the information in that report eventually led to a Supreme Court ruling governing the right of journalists to protect confidential sources of information. He's the author of books on Bertie Ahern, Charles Haughey and Gerry Adams as well as on the secretive banking system that operated during the Haughey era known as the Ansbacher Deposits.
