I was speaking to one of my friends in Ireland, about this, a couple of days ago. She was saying part of the issues with the Irish vaccination programme is their government refuse to deal with Boris Johnson, so havent asked to get any when they've been short.
Does absolutely nothing for their hopes of getting the European population to be less sceptical on vaccines in general.
But as said above if they don't want the doses they have bought then happily send them our way. I'd like life to get back to normal here as quickly as possible.
