I thank the witnesses for their statements. The indications are relatively good with regard to fighting this terrible pandemic in Ireland. The virus seems to be retreating but we cannot let our guard down.

The vaccine roll-out has been a huge logistical challenge but it has gone very well. The vaccination programme is age orientated. Does Mr. Reid, in hindsight, think it was a mistake to leave the cohort of 60 to 69-year-olds vulnerable through the roll-out of the AstraZenica vaccine? I ask because people in their mid-40s will be vaccinated well before people who are 69 years old. Was that a mistake?
