The civil servant who took on the tobacco industry and won

This is a great story about the civil servant who was the instigator for the introduction of the smoking ban in Ireland.

Tipperary man, Tom Power did his homework and advised then minister for health, Micheál Martin how to  handle the tobacco industry.

The world followed.

Has there been a word about him in the Irish media?
