Will the Taoiseach confirm to the House that the Covid-19 vaccine roll-out, which will hopefully happen quite soon, will be a public-only campaign? In other words, it will be done by public bodies and while they can bring in private bodies to help them, it will all be under the auspices of the State, and there will not be, in tandem, the possibility whereby private organisations that can afford to do so could vaccinate separate from a national programme. Can he confirm we are in a position, as regards procurement in this State, to roll out the vaccine once we get it or, in other words, that we will have all the facilities and raw materials?
