Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection
Operation and Effect of National and Local Policy on Island Communities: Discussion
Dr. Ian McCabe:
I will add that those are the needs of 20 years ago. If there is to be development, it should also address the needs of the next 20 or 30 years. The health centres on the islands need the dedicated space for the technology we are pioneering. They also need the connection to the national broadband infrastructure to enable the type of telemedicine we are trying to make work to happen in those locations. That is a very important part of this.
