I acknowledge it is good news that by the end of the weekend 50% of the adult population will have received its first dose. However, the Government target was very clear. It was repeated time and again by the Taoiseach and Tánaiste that 80% of the adult population would have received its first dose by the end of June. Here we go again with more problems on the supply side. Can the Minister outline to the House why we are now seeing difficulties with the Janssen supply, as well as ongoing problems with the AstraZeneca supply? The Minister is saying there is a best guess at this point, as well as best-case and worst-case scenarios. Will he explain to us what that means in real terms and what is the reasoning behind it? What is Janssen saying, what excuses is it giving as to why the agreed targets are not being met?
