Jack Holland (1947-2004) was an Irish journalist.[1]

In the mid-1970s, Holland's journalism for Hibernia led to pressure from official republicans, then in the midst of a split with the Irish Republican Socialist Party, according to historians Brian Hanley and Scott Millar:

Most of Hibernia's reports from Belfast were penned by Jack Holland, who had family and social contacts with the Officials, ans a concrete reason to dislike them: His cousin Paul Tinnelly had been shot dead by the OIRA the previous year. Holland was informed by a leading Official that 'his career as a journalist in Dublin would be quickly brought to an end' if he continued to write critical reports.[2]
