I thank the Deputy. With regard to a second larger vaccination centre for Limerick city and-or county, it is something that is kept under constant review for the whole country. If there is a demand for another centre one can be sourced and set up quite quickly. Remember the vaccinations centres are simply one part of the infrastructure. As we move out to the general populace, and particularly through April as we scale up to perhaps 250,000 vaccines a week, we will involve GP practices, pharmacies and vaccination centres.

Every town in Limerick will have at least one option and probably multiple options, and many of the villages as well. I can assure the Deputy that if that is not enough, and if there is an obvious need for a second vaccination centre for the city and-or the county, that can be done.
