Paddy Keenan is an Irish former Gaelic footballer who played for his club St Patrick's of Lordship and the Louth senior team.
Education Keenan is a graduate of DCU where he obtained an MSC in Business Management and played for DCU in the 2008 Sigerson Cup.
All Star In October 2010, Keenan was selected on the All Stars football team at midfield for his performances for Louth during the 2010 season.
2010 Leinster Football Championship Final He played and scored a point in the 2010 Leinster Football Final defeat to Meath where Louth appeared to be on their way to a first title since 1957, before losing to a late goal.
He helped Louth to win both the Tommy Murphy Cup and the National League Division 2 titles in 2006.
