Against the Tide - Noël Browne

This honest and emotive autobiography tells the story of Noël Browne's controversial public career and the private pain and deprivation suffered in consequence of an unbending personal integrity. For nearly forty years, Noël Browne's name was synonymous with political controversy. His career is dominated in popular memory by a single event - the Mother and Child Scheme of 1951. Yet his most outstanding achievement - the virtual eradication of tuberculosis from Ireland - ensured that the name of Noël Browne will always be remembered with affection and honour.
