Augustine A. Healy (20 May 1904 – 10 July 1987) was an Irish Fianna Fáil politician. A dental laboratory proprietor, Healy was first elected to Dáil Éireann as a Fianna Fáil Teachta Dála (TD) for the Cork Borough constituency at the 1957 general election[1] but lost his seat at the 1961 general election,[2] and was instead nominated by the Taoiseach Seán Lemass to the 10th Seanad.[1] Healy regained his Dáil seat at the 1965 general election and, later representing Cork City South-East, retained his seat until retiring at the 1977 general election.
Commonly known Gus Healy,[3] he served as Lord Mayor of Cork from 1964 to 1965 and from 1975 to 1976.[4]
Healy was a keen amateur swimmer and a member of Sunday's Well Swimming Club. He continued to promote the sport during his mayoralty and the city's first suburban swimming pool, opened in Ballinlough in the 1970s,[5] was named the Gus Healy municipal swimming pool.[6]
