Inis Mór’s medical resources get boost with modern ambulance

Inis Mór’s new state-of-the-art ambulance vehicle has been launched today.

Previously having to get by with inadequate vehicles and old ambulances, the Aran Island now has a new vehicle

The investment of 175,000 euro includes the purchase of the ambulance and the training of 6 volunteers to man the vehicle.

In addition, 6 volunteers have been trained to carry out emergency response and operate the vehicle on the island.

Our reporter Chris Benn has spent the day on Inis Mór and has been speaking to a number of people involved in bringing the ambulance to the island
