I will begin by adding my voice to the comments of the Chairperson and Deputy Doherty as to what I consider to be the non-reply received with regard to the correspondence sent on the issue of the pay increase for the Secretary General of the Department of Health. I echo the points raised earlier.
I mainly want to ask the Taoiseach about Covid supports, and the pandemic unemployment payment in particular. Before I do so, however, I want to tease out an issue. It is possible I picked the Taoiseach up incorrectly, so this may be an opportunity for clarification, but I thought the Taoiseach said in his introduction that the State's vaccination programme is ahead of the European average. Will the Taoiseach clarify his comment in that regard?
