...Health Authority for the first three years of the project. This was to pay the wages of a co-ordinator, an administrator and two sessional nursery nurses. At the outset, the project (as it was called) was located in the health centre in the hope that it would become an arm of the Local Health Authority.

Famously, the 1975 referendum moved opinion from two-thirds in favour of a “No” to two-thirds “Yes” in just six months. Since then attitudes have drifted back and forth, not obviously linked to either cues from politicians or...
