Haughey Irish Woven Blanket | Family Crest Tartan Throw

The Haughey name in Ireland is a Gaelic Irish surname — O'hÉachtígh’ in Irish — found in County Derry and the Ulster counties, the family part of the native Irish community of the north. The Haughey name is associated with Ulster, particularly with the Derry and Donegal region, and it carries the heritage of Gaelic Ulster through the centuries of upheaval that transformed the province during the plantation and post-plantation eras. This Irish woven blanket features the Haughey family crest against the Irish National Tartan, honouring a name with deep Ulster Gaelic roots.

History & Heritage

The Haughey families of Ulster were part of the Gaelic Irish community of the north-west, a region dominated by the O'Neill and O'Donnell dynasties and shaped by the Flight of the Earls in 1607 and the subsequent Plantation of Ulster. The name endured through those transformations, carried by families who maintained their Gaelic identity in the changed landscape of the planted province. Charles Haughey, the twentieth-century Taoiseach and one of the most complex and controversial figures in modern Irish politics, was among the most prominent bearers of this name — a reminder of the Ulster-origin families that played a central role in the Irish state.

Craftsmanship

This blanket is woven from premium cotton yarn — the Haughey family crest and the Irish National Tartan created within the textile structure during weaving, not applied to the surface. Consistent woven depth on both sides, a soft and substantial feel, and traditional fringed edges complete the piece in the correct manner.
