Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Park-and-Ride Facilities (24 Mar 2021)

Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements (24 Mar 2021)

Catherine Connolly: There are many things I could say about the roll-out of the vaccination programme, the role of AstraZeneca and various Deputies calling on the Government to engage with AstraZeneca rather than looking at the contracts, as outlined by a Fine Gael Deputy.
