Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

I saw the Director of Public Health from the Health Service Executive, Dr. Doorley, interviewed on this subject yesterday evening. He brought to public attention the fact that the vaccine is now being distributed and that it would be two weeks before everything is in place. We need to ensure that adequate arrangements are put in place. That is the up to date position. It is a question of ensuring distribution takes place, that people are properly apprised of the situation and then it can be rolled out. It is important that it be done properly so I can only convey what I heard from the HSE personnel.
