Fianna Fail TD's Angered by Delays In Speed Of Vaccine Rollout

The Minister for Health, Wicklow T.D. Stephen Donnelly and the HSE  are facing criticism from his own party members over the pace of the country's vaccination programme.

Several Fianna Fail TDs shared their anger at last night's parliamentary party meeting, as many over 85s still don't know when they'll get their injection.
Dara Calleary said he had little faith in the HSE to deliver, while Joe Flaherty said many older people have been let down by broken promises.
It comes as the health service failed to hit the government's target of administering 100,000 doses last week, with supply issues being blamed.
reports today say just 35 people were given the second vaccine dose last Sunday.
