Covid-19 Vaccination Programme: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2021-05-06
============================================================

Stephen Donnelly (FF), Wicklow

We will most definitely continue to be a voice within the European Union stating that there must be global justice and an acceleration of vaccine production and distribution right across the world. The only question for us is what is the right way to do that. There are differing views as to whether a simple waiver achieves those aims. It does not identify many of the other bottlenecks. I am sure the Deputy knows that the EU has set up a task force to look specifically at what the bottlenecks are so we can accelerate global production and distribution.
