I call the Taoiseach to respond.

I have no difficulty with facilitating a centre in Drogheda, none at all. The Health Service Executive has facilitated this. Different HSE regions have presumably sent in their submissions from different locations. The bulk of people, by the way, will be vaccinated in their GPs' surgeries when we get to the mass vaccination stage. Obviously the vaccination centres will augment and supplement that. There is no necessity for this to be turned into a political football either, to be fair to all concerned. Representations are being made by people in different locations. I think they will be taken on board. There has been no ministerial involvement, or indeed Government involvement, in the identification of vaccination centres. There is no necessity for it. I am serious.

I thank the Taoiseach, his time is up.

There has not been and there does not need to be. Again, what is the objective here? The objective is for Government, through the national task force and the Health Service Executive-----

I thank the Taoiseach but his time is up.

-----to ensure we get out as many vaccines as quickly as we possibly can to as many people as possible. There is no mystery here.

I thank the Taoiseach.

It is about doing the right thing for the people.

The time is up.

Let us get people vaccinated. Let us do it with a unity of purpose and that is the spirit in which I will pursue this. Deputy Nash has raised an issue in respect of Drogheda and I will put it to the HSE that there is a concern about Drogheda.
