I, too, commend the HSE and the team - Mr. Reid, Dr. Henry and others - on their clear communication. They are readily available and that is important in terms of retaining public confidence.

In terms of the vaccine programme, we all know that there are issues. There were always going to be challenges and difficulties. However, I would like to focus on the healthcare portal. I would like some facts and figures. How many healthcare staff are now registered on the portal? How many have got vaccines and how many are waiting to get vaccines? I understand staff in the blood board in the mid-west, for example, in County Clare, have got their appointments for vaccinations but in Limerick, they have not. The HSE might just give us some quick figures on that.
