Covid-19 Vaccination Programme: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2021-03-11
============================================================

David Cullinane (SF), Waterford

With respect, I asked if the Minister for Health has contacted AstraZeneca directly. He has acknowledged that there is frustration. He has acknowledged the missed targets. In his view it is the responsibility of AstraZeneca. I accept that the agreement is through the European Commission, but the Minister for Health has responsibility for the supply side. I am asking him a straight question. Has he directly contacted AstraZeneca at a senior level to express the frustration of people in this State who are being left short time and again by that company?
