Stephen Donnelly (Wicklow, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I cannot fully give the questions the time they deserve and need but the prioritisation is being done by very careful examination by the national immunisation advisory committee, NIAC, of the risk of severe illness, hospitalisation or death for those with underlying conditions. On CF, for example, Professor Butler said many people had expected a much greater link but that the good news from NIAC's perspective was that there was not as severe a link as it had expected. However, there is more information coming out in Ireland and across the world all the time and NIAC is constantly reviewing that. If the Deputy knows of people with specific conditions, please let me know and I will pass them on to NIAC and ask it to look at them.
