I thank the Deputy. It is a pity to hear his anger and frustration in what is a very positive roll-out across the country. He and I have discussed in the Chamber on several occasions the need for a vaccination centre in Drogheda. That has been delivered and it opened last week, as the Deputy will be aware. On the Deputy’s question on whether we need to open it for longer, if that is required, we absolutely can. I have raised the issues directly with those running the programme. If more needs to be done in Meath and Louth, where there was not the same volume as in some other areas, it will be done. A lot has been done now and I expect to see that issue largely resolved. I will stay in close contact with the Deputy. If additional resources are required, he can rest assured they will be provided.
