Thanks Emmet. Managed to get a copy of ‘Truth’ off Discogs in the name of research. The musicianship was surprisingly decent and one of the songs was actually pretty catchy. 😂 I appreciated the use of a “hidden track”, had forgotten about that trend on cds from the late 90s.

Hi Tom thanks for a fantastic paper this evening. Really fascinating to hear about the different activist groups organising on this issue and the personalities involved. Sorry I had to leave before the Q&A. Looking forward to reading the book!

Thanks so much, Brian!

I wrote an article a while back about the phone line that provoked Alice Glenn’s wrath, Mary, but a book project on this and/or Alice Glenn would be amazing! academic.oup.com/hwj/article/...

Clipping from Irish Times newspaper. Article discusses Alice Glenn, TD's negative reaction to a sexual health counselling service run by the Irish Family Planning Association.

For context: Irish Times, 8th Feb, 1985

Searching 'Alice Glenn sex hotline' on the Irish newspaper archives...totally normal Thursday morning for me here. 😂
