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

Like Deputy O'Donoghue, I am getting calls from doctors, nurses and home helps in west Cork that have not been able to get the vaccine yet. At the same time, I am getting calls indicating that in places councillors are getting the vaccine. Is this turning into a nod and wink situation where the vaccine will be given to some but not to others? At the very least, doctors, nurses, home helps and carers deserve to be offered the vaccine first. I ask the Tánaiste to explain why that is not happening on the ground.
