CIT student James hopes blood delivery drones take off

In a bid to speed up the reaction to road-side emergencies, Cork Institute of Technology student James King has developed a way to bring blood and organs to the site of crashes by using small unmanned air vehicle known as drones.
The device, which saw the Carrigaline native win first prize at the Engineers Ireland Level 8 Student Engineer of the Year awards, is currently awaiting Irish Medicines Board approval before it can be used in Irish skies.
