I have a number of questions, which I will run through one by one, the first of which is on the vaccine programme. The fortnightly sessions in the Dáil on the vaccine programme have not been terribly satisfactory because it is hard to get answers in that forum. I asked the Minister some time ago if he would commit to providing figures on the actual delivery of vaccines into this country. The Minister did this once in the briefings but we have not had anything since. It appears from the figures that I have been able to put together that there is a substantial gap between the number of vaccines delivered to Ireland, across the three vaccines, and the number actually administered. This is how it appears to me. I hope that it is not accurate but we simply do not know. For this reason, I ask the Minister to give a commitment to provide the daily figures for the vaccines that have been administered and the vaccines that are actually delivered and in this country. Will the Minister commit to doing that please?
