Mr. Niall Gleeson:

The local authorities have been transferring over this year on a phased basis. We have 31 local authorities that are under direct management of Uisce Éireann and all of those staff are now under our health and safety rules. It would be my understanding the vaccination programmes will just continue. I am not aware of any changes there.
