Alan Kelly (LAB), Tipperary

I regret to say that the Tánaiste's follow-up answer to my question during Leader's Questions was not satisfactory. It has prompted me to ask the following questions. I listened to the Minister for Health answering questions earlier on the vaccine roll-out. Have the Taoiseach, the Tánaiste or any other member of the Government spoken with AstraZeneca? Could the Tánaiste confirm that somebody in the Government has spoken to AstraZeneca? At some stage, has somebody in the Government spoken to the three current suppliers and to Johnson & Johnson, whose vaccine will hopefully be signed off on today? Has the Government spoken directly to all four companies?
