Kieran O'Donnell (Limerick City, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I wish to raise two issues. Could the Tánaiste give an update on the discussions that have taken place between the Ministers, the Department of the Education, the unions and the schools on special needs schools and classes recommencing? It is a major issue on the ground for parents in Limerick and it is something on which he might provide an update.

I note the Government's commitment on the vaccine being prioritised for those other than front-line workers. I refer to GPs and their staff, dentists and their staff and pharmacists as well. Could the Tánaiste raise that with the vaccination task force? In Limerick, there is significant inconsistency in the delivery of the vaccine to GPs, dentists and pharmacists, relative to other areas of the country.
