INFORMATION ON IRELAND’S Covid-19 vaccine rollout often comes from Health Minister Stephen Donnelly, but there have been calls to instead put in place a Vaccine Minister.
Fine Gael MEP and former Tánaiste Frances Fitzgerald said there should be a separate minister in charge of the rollout of the Covid-19 vaccine.
She spoke to Newstalk Breakfast this morning and has spoken in recent days about the idea.
Labour leader Alan Kelly has previously called for a minister to be put solely in charge of the vaccine rollout, speaking about it in the Dáil and on the radio.
Responding to Kelly on this last month, the Taoiseach said a “good team” was in place with the High-Level Task Force on Covid-19 Vaccination.
The UK appointed a Vaccine Deployment Minister last year – MP Nadhim Zahawi.
So today we’re asking: Should Ireland have a Vaccine Minister?

Looks like the damage limitation RTE crowd contacted Strang in desperation because of the massive fallout of that awful interview, and it looks like Ray’s family and friends have been the only ones thumbing these comments down – sure who else could it have been? – anyway, did I tell you how Jenny this and Jenny that got this that and the udder the udder day…?
