A controversial Kildare-based doctor is to feature in the first episode of an award-winning documentary series on TG4. Finné returns to screens for a third series exploring the personal testimonies of those who have lived through trying times.
Dr Andrew Rynne was Ireland’s first vasectomy doctor, a pioneering contraceptive rights campaigner during the 1970s and 1980s and founder of Clane General Hospital.
In 1979, when condoms were permitted to be sold to married couples only, Dr Rynne vowed to expose the absurdity of the law by issuing contraceptive prescriptions to non-married couples.
