Missing the point. As Minister for health and also being a G.P. Dr. Reilly should know the vaccine will only be beneficial if given properly. looking at the photo the needle is missing the Deltoid muscle by a country mile. poor demonstration of best practice. I hope as a GP he did a better job.
He does a lot of things that are surprising for a doctor & a GP, and sometimes does a multiple of those crazy things in one day. He’s a mystery to us all, a pure medical mystery.
O’Reilly do a good job, excuse my sceptism. On his recent record no chance.
Drink that coolade down ya Reilly!!
I’m sure your hit was a placebo.
One things for sure Reilly.
She’s not gonna hit a spine.
Why do all of our ministers for health have to be the most unhealthy looking of people. Think Harney & this lad.
Us fatties use the healthcare system more, that’s why.
I’m all for healthcare for the homeless. Oh wait…that’s the minister!
Why is the photo for the news of the day of James Reilly?
You might feel a little pr!ck Mr O Reilly ,who you telling says he!
Why do the Americans have all the cool stuff first,we make this equipment here in Ireland,we should be the first to use them,sorry journal.i.e.,this techno stuff is so the future,Hopefully in time you’ll be the first in Irish news with this technology!. <3. :)
He’s not entitled to the shot for free.
I hope it cost him hundreds.
