Covid-19 Vaccine Roll-out: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2021-07-02
============================================================

Róisín Shortall (SD), Dublin North-West

Yes, I completely agree with those comments. I do not understand why there is a difficulty with questions and answers in this session, which has been taking place for months now at the end of the week, at which we have interaction on the latest information on the vaccine programme. It is generally fairly productive and the Minister has not had a difficulty with that. Were the Minister agreeable this morning, we could continue like that where we use our time for a question-and-answer session. Would it be possible to arrange it in that manner? Is that acceptable, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle, because it is much more productive? Given the events of recent days and the need for us to get additional information for the public, there are endless questions to be asked about the vaccine programme. It would be fairly meaningless for us all to be just getting up and making statements. I ask the Minister to concede to that request.
