From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Drennan (real name Sean Armstrong) is an Irish political journalist and writer. He is a columnist for the Sunday Independent,[1] an occasional TV panelist and a frequent contributor to radio shows. From County Laois[2] he was educated at St. Patrick's College, Maynooth[3] where he studied for an arts degree and worked as a part-time postman to fund his shooting and fishing hobbies. A gun enthusiast and writer of dole diaries, he doesn't hide his Fine Gael background and leanings, and the Leeksman often refers to himself warmly as an Old Blueshirt.
