Kitty Holland (above) who broke the Savita story in the Irish Times, described how she came upon the story in yesterday’s Observer. Fair play. No mention is made of any other journalist. I was wondering if any of your readers know why Kitty had to share a by-line with a senior male editor in her original piece? My irony meter is a little low this afternoon.

When we were asked by the Irish Family Planning Association (IFPA) if we would let them sell condoms in our Dublin Virgin Megastore, we were happy to oblige. In May 1990 the IFPA were convicted for selling condoms in the Megastore and fined £400.
The IFPA appealed the conviction on Valentine’s Day 1991 and I testified on their behalf.

And then what happened?

The judge increased the fine to £500 and warned future infringement could result in imprisonment.

Ah.
