A colleague of the Minister's, a Fianna Fáil Deputy, responded to a family carer saying that she had a meeting with him and he had informed her, subject to a recommendation coming from the NIAC, that family carers would be in category 6 and that carers should not be as concerned as that particular carer was because there would be movement. Either that is right or it is wrong. We need to be honest with carers about what is being considered.

I also have a question about pharmacists. They are very frustrated about their role. They are very frustrated that they are not part of this roll-out and they are not getting answers to questions they are asking. Those on the front line in pharmacies, those who work in the shops, have not yet been vaccinated. Pharmacists have been, but those who work on the front line have not been. They have not been given any answers on their role. Is that Fianna Fáil Deputy correct that the Minister had said to her that family carers would be considered for category 6?
