John Hooper (1846 - 23 November 1897) was an Irish nationalist journalist, politician and MP in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and as member of the Irish Parliamentary Party represented South-East Cork from 1885 to 1889. He began his career on the ''Cork Herald'', and later joined the staff of the ''Freeman's Journal'', serving as its Parliamentary correspondent for a considerable time. He entered parliament in 1885 under the auspices of Charles Stewart Parnell. In December 1887, he was imprisoned in Tullamore Jail, along with T. D. Sullivan for publishing reports of suppressed branches of the Irish National League.〔Mandeville, Mary. "A narrative of my husband's treatment at Tullamore, as stated by him to me on his return". (Geary, Lawrence M., ed.) ''Cork Hist. & Arch. Jn.'' xciii, no.252 (1988), pp 93-103. ()〕 He remained in parliament until he retired from politics in 1889.〔Fitzpatrick, William J. ''History of the Dublin Catholic Cemeteries," Dublin:1900, ch. XIX.〕 At the time of his death he was editor of Dublin's ''Evening Telegraph''. He is mentioned in James Joyce's ''Ulysses'' when a matrimonial gift of a stuffed owl given by "alderman Hooper" is described along with a number of items sitting on a mantelpiece.〔Joyce, James. ''Ulysses'', Chap. 6〕 Two of his sons, William and Richard won International soccer caps for Ireland. Another of his sons, John, was the first Director of Statistics in the Irish Free State.〔(http://www.cso.ie/aboutus/histperspect.htm )〕 Hooper is buried in Glasnevin Cemetery, Dublin. ==References== * 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 Hooper (Irish politician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
