  However, in May 2022, Keane disappeared from Instagram, leaving followers puzzled. Addressing his departure during an interview with Off The Ball on Newstalk, Keane humorously remarked that it was all in good fun and attributed his initial foray into social media to his youngest daughter's insistence amidst the Covid-19 pandemic.

  "I'm sure people will get over it and survive! I've said it before, I done it for a bit of fun. With Covid, my youngest daughter was insistent I did it for a bit of fun. But it's moved on now, a bit of closure on it," he said.
