Terence de Vere White (29 April 1912 – 17 June 1994) was an Irish lawyer, writer and editor.
Writing in 1968, he harshly criticized both the Constitution of Ireland and the existing political system, "At the time of this writing, the Constitution of the Republic is under scrutiny, but it is unlikely that any proposed changes therein will radically alter the system established.
A Constitution on the United States model might well suit the people better than the present one; but the Irish are too innately Conservative ever to bring about such a change except by gradual and almost imperceptible degrees.
He wrote twelve novels, five biographies, two volumes of short stories and five other books of general interest.
[2] de Vere White married Mary O'Farrell in 1941 and they had two sons and a daughter.
