I want to raise the vaccination centre we have in the mid-west region, which serves Limerick city. We previously raised the issue. The centre was not actually in Limerick city, it was in County Clare and I understand from HSE contacts this morning that it is moving shortly to the racecourse in Patrickswell. That would make it more difficult for people in the city to access the vaccination centre. The one in the Radisson hotel was working well and while there were problems, there was public transport to it. As there is no public transport to the racecourse that I am aware of, will the Government commit to making sure there is a shuttle bus? All Deputies from the mid-west region have been inundated with calls from people who had problems accessing the vaccine at the previous centre. Will the Government commit to providing some sort of shuttle transfers for people to get to the vaccination centre?
