A MAYO company has been honoured at the Irish Times Innovation Awards.

Eco Powered Cabinets won the New Frontiers category, sponsored by UCD - Michael Smurfit.

Darren Forde's life-saving initiative has really caught the eye, with eco powered cabinets for defibrillators and other life-saving medicines being installed in numerous communities and even high up on Croagh Patrick.

The Hollymount man's eco powered cabinets initiative allows for 24/7, 365 days a year immediate access to defibrillators in rural isolated locations where a main power supply is not available, dramatically increasing the chances of survival for a person who suffers an out of hospital cardiac arrest.
