I support the contribution made by Senator Colm Burke. I was disappointed to see anti-vaxxers outside Leinster House yesterday. They have a right to protest but I could not help but notice the large number of young people and children among the protestors, that is, the people who these vaccinations protect. A number of months ago, I received my final vaccination at the gay men's health service clinic located on Baggot Street in Dublin. I wish to highlight that the HPV vaccine is available free of charge at the point of delivery for all men under the age of 26 who have sex with men. I wish to emphasise that vaccines work and they protect our future.

This is the time of year when every League of Ireland fan gets behind their representatives in Europe. I wish Cork City well as it takes on Legia Warsaw at Turner's Cross, Cork, in the Champions League. For the first time in 12 years, Cork City has qualified for the Champions League. The club had issues with Revenue, went out of business and then the fans took it over. I am excited about the future of domestic football and wish the club well.
