- Charles Haughey, a Fianna Fáil TD talks about how he got involved in politics and outlines his aspirations for the future.
Fianna Fáil Teachta Dála (TD) Charles Haughey is dedicated to his work in the Dublin North-East constituency. This commitment however, comes at a cost to his family, as he spends limited time at home in Abbeville, Kinsealy, County Dublin.
"Perhaps if I spent a great deal more they mightn’t like that either."
His children are somewhat uncomfortable with the attention their father brings to them, and would prefer not to be recognisable.
Charles Haughey came into politics through friends he made at school, Harry Boland and George Colley. He is married to Maureen Lemass, the daughter of former Taoiseach and leader of Fianna Fáil
Seán Lemass.
"More than anybody else, he has influenced me on what I’ve done and tried to do."
Charles Haughey wants to see the continuing development of Ireland as a modern nation but retaining its unique personality and individuality. He is confident Ireland can avail of the prosperity available in the 20th century.
There are many opportunities to be grasped if we have the intelligence and the foresight to grasp them.
Charles Haughey’s personal ambition is to;
"Live a full life, a satisfying life, to be able to achieve something, to have a happy family life and to be of help and assistant to the community in which one lives."
This episode of ‘7 Days’ was broadcast on 23 October 1970.

Met him once when I was about 7 or 8. We were training in the local gaa field and he came in on one of his helicopters. We all ran over to have a look and himself came down and started shaking hands with us
must have been an election year
I hope you counted your fingers afterwards
What really galls his detractors is that he sold his Kinsealy house for 45 million while he was still alive and as part of the deal was allowed stay there for as long as he would live. Good timing! at the height of the property boom and he settled all tax bills. It was resold a few years later for close to 5 million I believe.. 😂
God rest your soul Charley. You had more brains than all your fellow politicians put together. Angela O'Connor
Grow up
portrayed himself as a man of the people but in reality was just a typical greedy politcian who bled the irish people - by the time he died he was no longer the darling people thought and thats why the streets were empty for his state funeral
In fact a large crowd gathered that warm summers day to see him off but don't let the truth disrupt your opinions.
@@TT_1221 streets were mostly empty but if you want to delude yourself go right ahead
Good old Charlie a man of the rich and the golden circle by god didn't he fool the nation
Love/Loathe him, imagine what he would make of our Tik Tok generation of Latte Politicians today, especially the ones constantly offended..Apparently some TD lost the Whip for saying F*** off recently..(Sligo)..Charlie and Lugs would clear O Connell St today in 24hrs, or as RTE call it , our Champs Elysees)
We are all in this together except for yourself and all your cronies Charlie who bled this country dry
That's right, we know now, alright.
revealing comments here, politicians have ruined our world
I see loads of gafs in the future
Lord be good to.him.
Interesting but a bit nearsighted
