In his memoir, We Need To Talk, released in 2023, Dr Holohan opened up about the death of his first wife Dr Emer Holohan, who died in 2021 following a diagnosis of multiple myeloma nine years prior.
She was a specialist in public health medicine and a medical graduate of UCD.
In the memoir, Dr Holohan had revealed he is now in a 'lovely' relationship with psychotherapist Ciara Cronin.
He also criticised the Government's decision to reopen hospitality in late 2020 for a 'meaningful Christmas'. During the pandemic, the National Public Health Emergency Team exercised major control over recommendations around lockdowns, freedoms such as how far people could exercise outside their home, as well as the closure of schools and hospitality.

'People in London seem to be finding really creative ways to hurt themselves and each other'
Assisting with the surgery of a man who had suffered 'an unfortunate chainsaw attack' is just the sort of medical drama aspiring doctor Rhys Scully thrives on. 'Luckily, the story had a happy ending,' he tells the Irish Examiner. The 23-year-old has spent the last three weeks in London shadowing some of Britain's leading trauma surgeons. It's been a life-changing experience for the UCD student who says it would not have been possible without the support of his community who fundraised to make the dream a reality. Ever since childhood, Rhys says he has loved nothing more than watching Channel 4 show 24 Hours in A&E. So taken was he with the reality show, he was determined to experience Britain's busiest emergency medicine departments for himself. However, it almost didn't happen for Rhys after a shortfall of personal funds threatened to scupper his chances of accepting the offer of a placement in hospitals under the umbrella of the Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust. But when his mother Lynsey told her friends about Rhys's predicament, they came to the rescue. Lynsey started a GoFundMe campaign, raising a total of €6,555 for Rhys's flights, accommodation, and living costs during his placement. The medical student said he was extremely touched by the generosity of those who donated after he applied for the initiative through King's College Hospital in London. 'Some of these people have never even met me,' Rhys said. 'I am so grateful to them for giving me this opportunity. I really hope that none of them have to avail of my services in the future, but at least if they do it can be my way of giving back.' Survival is priority Rhys, who grew up in Carlow, said he has learned so much from the cases he has assisted with. "I saw a very unfortunate chainsaw attack which required a lot of work. It reaches a point where aesthetics isn't the goal anymore. The priority is survival and, after that, function. Some people come out fine, but other injuries are life-changing. "The team that I'm under specialises in plastic surgery, so they deal with putting people back together again. "I've seen some incredible surgeries including nerve repairs. These are people who, if they were anywhere else, would have to undergo amputations. You get lots of people who get into brawls and break bones as a result. The doctors don't ask questions. 'When people throw punches, they tend to fracture their hand in a specific way so doctors know what to look for. People punching walls out of anger is far more common than you think. You'd assume this is something that only happens in movies, but there are at least two surgeries in the hospital each day dealing specifically with this kind of injury "There have been people who have punched doors, windows, and walls, among other things. You see things that you never thought were possible. "To put it bluntly: People in London seem to be finding really creative ways to hurt themselves and each other. This is unfortunate, obviously, but it's also really important to see from a learning point of view. "Unfortunately, this is how medicine works because you can't know how to treat somebody if you haven't see the injury before." Rhys says that, after his placement, he is going to have a "wealth of knowledge about different injuries and creative ways of treating them when I'm back in Ireland". He also praised the team he is working under for their support and generosity. 'The same consultant who can be harsh and will lay down the law in the theatre, only to buy you lunch afterwards because this is the type of person they are. They have the patients' interests at heart in the theatre, and yours when it's all finished. "One of the best parts for me was being asked to select the music to play in the theatre for one of the procedures. That was such a big deal for me and a real honour.' Rhys Scully praised the team he is working under for their support and generosity, which includes, from left: Maleeha Mughal, Dr Ted Welman, and Dr Markos Antonopoulus. He also enjoys the atmosphere of camaraderie. In the space of 10 minutes, you can go from being head to toe in a gown covered in blood and other stuff to sitting outside with a nice latte talking about plans for the weekend And, he says, the most rewarding part of his experience was seeing the difference treatments can make to lives. 'One of the most positive things I have seen from plastic surgery is what it can do for women with breast cancer. There's something called a Diep flap, which is a type of breast reconstruction surgery that uses the patient's own tissue to rebuild the breast after a mastectomy," he says. "These are the kind of positive things I've seen from plastic surgery for breast cancer. In the past, people would have gone for a mastectomy and that would be it. Some are okay with this but, for others, it can have a huge impact on their self-esteem. For many, it's not just an aesthetic thing — it's a personality thing "This is a very personal thing for people to lose, and they suffer a lot as a result. They can reconstruct the breasts now, so they basically look like they did beforehand. It reduces a lot of psychological distress that can come with a mastectomy. "This is a new option that wasn't there before. Of course, there is also the option of implants — but it's nice to be able to use your own natural tissue as well.' Family support Rhys said his mum Lynsey has been a huge support to him throughout his placement. 'Mum has always been an inspiration to me. She was the reason I went into medicine in the first place. "We often watched 24 Hours in A&E together. She has supported me every step of the way. When I was younger, she gave me books and memoirs about doctors to read. "She wanted to make sure that I was 100% committed and was aware of the life that comes with medicine. The year I was born, she was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. It meant that I was constantly coming with her to doctors appointments as a child. While a lot of people hate hospitals, I fell in love with them "I was always asking the doctors questions and watching what they were doing. I saw how they helped people bounce back. Even though I have no aspirations to be a gastroenterologist, I had that same desire to help people.'

Letters: New garda commissioner Justin Kelly has a big job ahead as he tries to turn force around
While I, like many others, am delighted to see a homegrown member succeed to the highest echelons of the force, Justin Kelly will have his work cut out for him given the myriad problems facing him, including the recently published Crowe report. The dogs on the street know that the present model of policing just doesn't work and has been shown to be more of a hindrance than a help to both the public and to gardaí. Mr Kelly's main tasks will be recruitment and retention of gardaí, and to stem the flow of resignations which has dogged the force these past number of years. While the Government has ramped up its attempts to recruit, the expected increase in numbers hasn't materialised. Morale in the force has been at an all-time low, with many frontline gardaí I've spoken to concerned that the amalgamation of divisions, reduction in districts and closure of smaller stations expose them and the public to unnecessary dangers. The issue of over-discipline and internal oversight will be another factor he will have to contend with. While he may have master's in criminal justice and in serious crime, Mr Kelly will have to master an ingrained and faulty ideology that has caused major friction between the garda associations and the office of commissioner itself. How he will handle all of these issues, while attempting to appease his political overlords and those in the PCSA (Policing and Community Safety Authority), while governing a force in transformation and change, is anyone's guess. What makes him tick, and how will he use his management skills to radically change the narrative and bring together a force that has seen a huge chasm between those at the top and those who risk their lives on our behalf every day? Well, the proof will definitely be in the pudding. Christy Galligan, Letterkenny, Co Donegal Stop sneering – remote working can unlock huge potential of rural Ireland Sinéad Ryan and others in the media appear to be taking great delight in AIB's decision to force staff back to the office three days per week ('AIB wants its staff back to the office more – they should consider themselves lucky', Irish Independent, August 1). As a public servant who worked almost exclusively from home during the pandemic, I have written at length to this newspaper and elected representatives on this topic (all on my own time, I might add). Working from home is not always ideal. While one is sometimes more able to focus on specific tasks, there can also be domestic distractions and it can be isolating too. I will admit there is an increased sense of collegiality and more opportunities for collaboration when working from the office. However, remote working, by its very nature, can be done from a number of different locations. Most effectively, perhaps, from one of the many state-of-the art 'remote hubs' the government spent millions on establishing around the country during Covid and which are now, for the most part, gathering dust. This largely untapped resource could be the key to unlocking a new digital decentralisation. These hubs could effectively become branch offices, allowing people from remote regions to live and work, settle down and start families in their own locality. Negating the need for long commutes or relocation to already congested and expensive urban areas. Breathing new life into rural towns which are currently in decline. If the public sector took the lead on this (it was public money spent on these hubs, after all) others would surely follow. It would sure beat reading endless opinion pieces by mean-spirited columnists gloating about spoiled workers being dragged back to the office by tough, uncompromising, bombastic bosses. Yawn… Paddy Sharkey, Kilcar, Co Donegal Digital divide in literacy poses serious risks to the future of our democracy A century ago, mass literacy helped build liberal democracy; today, its erosion may accelerate its decline. Long-form reading – the kind that trains attention, deep reasoning and tolerance for complexity – is quietly becoming a class-based skill. As smartphones colonise ever more of daily life, this cognitive bifurcation will harden. We already see the outlines: elites paying fees to shield their children from screens, while poorer families navigate algorithm-driven content designed to addict. The result is not just cultural decay but political vulnerability. A distracted electorate, trained on dopamine loops and meme-slop, is less able to scrutinise policy, follow evidence or defend democratic norms. Ireland, with a highly educated population, still young in its republic, would do well to recognise this as a national risk. Literacy was once the route to dignity. If it is allowed to drift into the realm of the privileged, we may soon find that the real digital divide was not access to devices but the ability to think beyond them. Enda Cullen, Tullysaran, Co Armagh Disgusting racist attacks on Indian community do not represent real Ireland The increasing number of physical attacks on members of the Indian community living in Ireland (which have led to the Indian embassy issuing a safety advisory notice) is a cause of growing concern. To think that the Indian constitution was significantly influenced by the Irish Constitution, and in particular the shared provision for government to promote the social and economic welfare of all the people. How the founders of our Constitution must be turning in their graves at today's horrendous racist attacks. Mark Hogan, Wicklow town Gavin's Football Review Committee has been real winner this GAA season After the camogie final next Sunday, the 'hooter' on GAA inter-county season 2025 will sound, leaving only speculation and opinion as to the teams of the year and the players of the season. I have for many weeks now, settled on my team of 2025, namely, the Football Review Committee captained by Jim Gavin. The captain and his team have certainly put in the graft, have stuck to their game plan, with perceptive flexibility as needed, and haven't shirked their essential responsibilities. Thus, they have scored championship-winning goals in the radical reappraisal and rehabilitation of Gaelic football. My only concern now is, that if this team features again next year, football will galvanise itself as 'the new hurling' of the GAA world, an anathema for a Kilkenny man.

BBC faces criticism over delay in paying court-ordered damages to Gerry Adams
The corporation lost a major defamation case earlier this year after Mr Adams took them to court over a 2016 episode of its Spotlight programme and an accompanying online story Former Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams outside the High Court in Dublin after he won his libel action against the BBC (Brian Lawless/PA) The BBC has been criticised for not yet having paid court-ordered damages to former Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams. The corporation lost a major defamation case earlier this year after Mr Adams took them to court over a 2016 episode of its Spotlight programme and an accompanying online story. They contained an allegation that Mr Adams sanctioned the killing of former Sinn Fein official Denis Donaldson. Mr Adams denied any involvement. In May, a jury at the High Court in Dublin found in his favour and awarded him 100,000 euros (£84,000) after determining that was the meaning of words included in the programme and article. The BBC, which was found by the jury not to have acted in good faith nor in a fair and reasonable way, was also ordered to pay the former Sinn Fein leader's legal costs. BBC Northern Ireland director Adam Smyth (centre) outside the High Court in Dublin after the court case (Brian Lawless/PA) Adam Smyth, director of BBC NI, expressed disappointment in the verdict and said the corporation believes it supplied extensive evidence to the court of the careful editorial process and journalistic diligence applied to the programme and accompanying online article. After the decision, the broadcaster's legal team was granted a stay in the payment of the full award as it took time to consider an appeal, subject to paying half the damages (50,000 euros or £42,000) and 250,000 euros (£210,000) towards solicitors' fees. In June, the BBC confirmed it would not pursue an appeal. However, it is understood that by August 1 the BBC had not paid the damages. Mr Adams previously indicated that he planned to donate what he receives to good causes. He specified that these would include for children in Gaza as well as groups in the Irish language sector and those who are homeless. A source close to Mr Adams told the PA news agency: 'The delay by the BBC is deplorable and it should move speedily towards discharging the order of the court.' A BBC spokesperson said: 'Total costs will be finalised and payable in due course.'
