Covid 19 (Health): Statements
Dail Éireann — 2021-01-13
============================================================

Cathal Crowe (FF), Clare

I have a number of questions to pose and I ask the Minister and Ministers of State to engage with me on an over-and-back basis. I commend the effort. Earlier, I spoke about the immense effort being undertaken by our front-line health services. I now want to speak about Covid vaccinations and the immense effort being made to roll them out. With regard to vaccinations for GPs, in Clare, we are watching how GPs in other counties are getting the all-important Covid jab. In recent days, I have seen how Bantry General Hospital in Cork was bringing in GPs from the local area to inject them with the Covid vaccine and put them safely back into the community. This is not happening in County Clare, where GPs are being told it could be February, perhaps even late February, before some of them will be vaccinated. Will the Minister update me a little on this?
