John Drennan (born Sean Armstrong)[citation needed] is an Irish political journalist and writer.
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, Drennan was openly affiliated with Fine Gael for many years and often referred to himself warmly as an "Old Blueshirt".
[citation needed] In 2015, Drennan announced that he was leaving his role with the Sunday Independent and had joined Renua — a new anti-abortion[4] political party founded by Lucinda Creighton TD — to work as their Communications Director.
[5] After the party's underwhelming performance during the 2016 general elections, Drennan resigned and returned to his work as a journalist.
