===Career===
Born in [[Dublin]], de Vere White studied at [[Trinity College, Dublin]].
Writing in [[1968 in Ireland|1968]], he harshly criticized both the [[Constitution of Ireland]] and the existing political system, "At the time of this writing, the Constitution of the [[Irish Republic|Republic]] is under scrutiny, but it is unlikely that any proposed changes therein will radically alter the system established. A Constitution on [[Constitution of the United States|the United States model]] might well suit [[Irish people|the people]] better than the present one; but the Irish are too innately [[Social Conservatism|Conservative]] ever to bring about such a change except by gradual and almost imperceptible degrees."<ref> Terence de Vere White (1968), ''New Nations and Peoples Library: Ireland'', [[Thames and Hudson]]. Page 83.</ref>
He retired from the newspaper in 1977.
He wrote twelve novels, five biographies, two volumes of short stories and five other books of general interest.<ref>{{cite book|last=Boylan|first= Henry |year=1998|title=A Dictionary of Irish Biography, 3rd Edition|pages=106|location=Dublin|publisher= Gill and MacMillan|isbn= 0-7171-2945-4}}</ref>
