In this weeks episode, Andrew interviews Dr Fiona Gallagher about the last pandemic which ravaged Ireland. How the country responded, the formation of the Irish medical board (an ancient NPHET) and how they managed the spread of Cholera when they didn't even know what a bacteria was in 1832. Closing ports for safety and then opening them up again for business sounds familiar right? Dr Gallagher is an incredible speaker and has a wealth of knowledge, enjoy!
