I thank the Minister for that update. I ask that he provide us with a full written report on those figures. It is not good news that we are seeing problems on the supply side again. It is unacceptable that the Janssen targets will not be met and that at best it is only going to be half, and there are problems with AstraZeneca as well. Of course, while we can celebrate the 50% number being achieved by the weekend, it was a Government target, 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.

I have two quick questions for the Minister on the impact of the cyberattack, which I gave him prior notice of yesterday. The first concerns medical cardholders whose cards are due to expire. Due to the fact they cannot get the cards renewed as a consequence of the cyberattack, pharmacists are not dispensing the drugs, which is obviously a real difficulty. Second, is there any update on patient or staff data breaches yet? Is there any update from those who are examining the systems as to the level of compromise of either patient or staff data?
