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

Stephen Donnelly (FF), Wicklow

I thank the Deputy. I have not because the contracting relationship in the first instance is with the Commission and in Ireland, the task force is taking the lead on that. AstraZeneca has appointed a more senior person in recent times as the relationship manager with Ireland.
May I just make one quick point? I know it is the Deputy's time so I will make it very quickly. Regarding the efficiency of the roll-out, in defence of the HSE it is getting 95% of the vaccines that arrive here out within seven days. By any reasonable measure, that is efficient work by it.
