The Meaning of Life

Joe Duffy speaks with former Chief Medical Officer, Tony Holohan, about the loss of his beloved wife, Eimear, to cancer, while he was spearheading the national response to Covid. He speaks frankly about why medical scandals predominantly affect women, including his views on the Cervical Check controversy. He offers revealing insights into his decision to withdraw from a publicly funded, but privately arranged, secondment to Trinity College; into his role in drafting Ireland’s abortion legislation; and his joy in finding love again after loss.
