The prioritisation lists for the Covid vaccine were published yesterday. We need clarity on who are the key workers. Everyone is asking the same question.

We all support the European Medicines Agency, EMA, approval process for vaccines. Is it possible for the Taoiseach to check whether we can get our proportion of vaccines in advance of the nine-to-ten day differential between the time it will be approved and distributed, in other words, bringing it in advance of potential approval? Logistically, that might work well. I do not expect him to necessarily have the answer but he might look into it.
