Keira Keogh TD of Fine Gael, who represents the Mayo constituency, took part in a session of other members’ questions in the Dáil on 17 June 2026. She contributed to the discussion titled “Ceisteanna ó na Comhaltaí Eile – Other Members’ Questions”, addressing matters raised by fellow parliamentarians.

Keogh is a Westport‑based behavioural consultant who spent 18 years working with neurodiverse children before being encouraged to stand for election. Her decision to run was strongly supported by retiring Fine Gael TD Michael Ring, whose backing helped secure her seat in the Mayo constituency. As a first‑time member of the Dáil, Keogh has already begun to focus on issues that affect constituents across County Mayo, including education and support for neurodiverse families.

Her participation in the questions session demonstrates her commitment to representing local concerns at the national level and highlights the growing presence of professionals with specialist experience in the legislature. The debate record confirms her contribution and provides a detailed account of the topics discussed.
