John Healy (1930–1991) was an Irish journalist from Charlestown, County Mayo, who wrote for ''Western People'' and ''The Irish Times''. ==Career== Healy was a journalist with ''The Irish Times'' newspaper, writing the ''Backbencher'' column in the 1960s and 1970s. He was a close friend of the editor, Douglas Gageby. Healy's book ''No One Shouted Stop (The Death of an Irish Town)'', published in 1968, chronicled the economic and social decline of rural life in the west of Ireland in a time of widespread poverty and mass emigration. He also wrote ''Nineteen Acres'' on the history and lifestyle of his family, who were small farmers. Healy was a strong Fianna Fáil supporter and one of the most fervent journalistic supporters and admirers of both Donagh O'Malley and Charles Haughey. 〔Diarmaid Ferriter, ''Ambiguous Republic: Ireland in the 1970s''.

(p.130)〕 Healy's support for the latter caused considerable controversy among his fellow Irish Times journalists, many of whom were outspoken opponents of Haughey.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Healy (Irish journalist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
