Susan O'Keeffe (born 18 September 1960) is an Irish journalist and former Labour Party politician.

[1][2] She was educated at Mount Anville Secondary School, Dublin, and at University College Cork.

The investigation centred on the Goodman International group – involving tax fraud, misappropriation of beef and Larry Goodman's dealings with Saddam Hussein's Iraq, leading to the setting-up of a Tribunal of Inquiry, known as the Beef Tribunal, which found that much of her criticism of the industry was substantiated.

The case became a cause célèbre in Ireland, and, in January 1995, she faced trial for contempt of court but was cleared of the charge.

It was reported in The Irish Times that "Ms O’Keeffe is considered by her critics to be too close to the leadership and inclined to play along with the official Labour Party line of accepting Fine Gael's proposal to abolish the Upper House.
