Michael Collins (Cork South West, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I am thankful the Minister is here because it is a very important issue for every constituent. The public has so many genuine questions about vaccines. When will people with cystic fibrosis get it? When will those over 70 and home carers get it? The home help service in west Cork, and everywhere, is at the front line like no other. There are approximately 1,000 elderly and vulnerable people getting home help in west Cork and 350 home helps providing a service to these vulnerable people. Many home helps visit numerous clients daily, exposing themselves to risks and putting elderly clients at risk of infection. Will the Minister tell us when exactly home helps in west Cork will be offered the vaccine?
