Pádraig "Jock" Haughey (10 October 1932 – 10 October 2003) was an Irish Gaelic footballer who played as a right wing-forward for the Dublin senior team.[1]
Haughey began his inter-county career as a member of the Dublin senior team in the early 'fifties and enjoyed much success going forward into the early 'sixties. During that time he won one All-Ireland medal, three Leinster medals and two National Football League medals. Haughey was an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.
At club level Haughey won numerous county club championship medals with St. Vincent's.
His brother, Charles J. Haughey, served as Taoiseach on three occasions between 1979 and 1992.
In 1970, Haughey was investigated by the Garda Síochána, suspected of having imported arms into Ireland illegally.[2]
