Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements
Dail Éireann — 2021-03-24
============================================================

Cian O'Callaghan (SD), Dublin Bay North

The Taoiseach has been outspoken on the issue of vaccines to the effect that there should be no barriers put in place and, should that happen, it would affect people in the North as well as us and the wider European Union. On that point of making sure there are no barriers in place in terms of vaccine production, distribution and roll-out, will the Taoiseach raise the temporary waiving of intellectual property rights so that can be carried out to full production levels?
