Social entrepreneurs work tirelessly to improve society

Social Entrepreneurs Ireland is searching for people with the ideas and commitment to drive change, says its CEO Darren Ryan.

JOHN Kearney is a social entrepreneur from Cork. In 2009 he saw first-hand that people in rural areas were suffering and lives were being put at risk in medical emergencies because the services didn’t exist to reach people quickly enough.

He had an innovative idea to tackle this problem and created Irish Community Rapid Response (ICRR).
