Yes, but it will be a vaccination received.

Will the Taoiseach confirm that the portal will be in place in April? Will he confirm that everybody will be able to apply for it? What number of vaccines from the four companies will be arriving here in the three months of the second quarter?

On what happened in the Beacon Hospital, the old private school club of access to whatever one wants, whenever one wants, was at play again. The Beacon got access to vaccines and became a vaccination centre early on. There were issues about it vaccinating its own staff above some who should have been prioritised in January. Then there was the fact that it would not sign up to the national ICU plan. Then there was what happened over the past number of weeks which was brought to light by Craig Hughes.

Why did we offer the Beacon as a hospital for vaccinations? Who decided that?
