Ms Anne Coyle:
This is a really exciting development. It was launched earlier this year, in February. The funding was received through the cancer charity. It is a lung screening initiative that is in place in other countries. It is now about testing this as a principle. It is a research programme delivered in partnership with the GAA. It has exceeded the expectations in terms of the uptake and meeting the anticipated numbers that were going through it. As it is a research project and programme, it is really about that proof of concept with the intent to demonstrate the efficacy to mainstream that work.
