We now move on to the final topic on our agenda, ehealth and living longer on islands. We have with us Dr. Ian McCabe, project manager with the health innovation via engineering lab, HIVE, at the University of Galway. He is also manager of the home health project, the healthy islands project and the virtual hospital project. We have Dr. Noreen Lineen-Curtis, the GP serving Clare Island and Inishbiggle in County Mayo. She is an ehealth advocate and pioneer. We also have Dr Jennifer Doran, research physician at the HIVE lab. She is developing procedures and processes for integrating telemedicine into island communities. I will now ask Dr. Doran to make her opening statement.
