Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

I remember when the vaccine programme started in January, the Deputy raised this issue and was of the view that the racecourse would be a better site for a vaccine centre than the Radisson Blu Hotel, because the latter is hard to access. I am advised that the vaccine centre will move out of the Radisson Blu Hotel, which will go back to being a hotel, and will be relocated to the Limerick Racecourse, which will be more accessible to people, particularly those who do not have access to a car. I do not know the arrangements in terms of a shuttle bus but I will take it up with the CEO of the HSE and see if it can be done. I do not have the date for the relocation of the centre from the Radisson Blu Hotel to the racecourse but I can confirm it is happening and an announcement will be made soon.
