I will put my remaining questions in one block. Will the Minister outline to the House the new target dates for all the over-85s and all the over-70s to be vaccinated? We are now hearing some other countries in Europe may use the AstraZeneca vaccine.

We hear Britain is now examining the possibility of a third jab of the vaccine in the autumn. Is that something that is being considered in this State?

Regarding people who are housebound, and while I, as somebody who first raised this issue, welcome the move starting next week to have people with underlying medical conditions vaccinated, some of those will be housebound, as are some of the older people, and there are questions relating to GPs being part of that. Perhaps the Minister could answer that.
