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

David Cullinane (SF), Waterford

I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I accept that the Minister did not request this session format but essentially what he is saying is that he will not have the information we need at his disposal today, which is problematic. Briefings in private session, whenever they are organised, are not what we need. People are asking us reasonable questions on the supply chain, how many of the vaccines will be available for young people and when. The Minister made some announcements this morning, which we all welcome. It would have been a good opportunity to have an engagement to get that story out and to tease out some of the working in this regard. It is unfortunate but we have to proceed in this manner.
