Who, at a senior level, is in contact with the pharmaceutical companies? We know we have had several interruptions in supply. It was reported in today's edition of The Irish Timesthat there was a target of 1.7 million doses by the end of March. We were told it was 1.4 million earlier this year when others appeared before this committee. It dropped down to 1.2 million because of an interruption in supply from Astra Zeneca. Questions are being asked and I hope Mr. Reid will have the answers today for us. How many times have we seen an interruption on the supply side? How many times have been told we are getting X number of vaccines and we end up getting Y which is a lesser amount? Does Mr. Reid have that information for us this morning? How many times have we seen those levels of interruptions?
