You didn’t hear her interview in rte where she described people voting for a unified Ireland in the north as self harm 
They did 700,000 here this week.

According to the Times this morning.
Ireland could get millions of Covid vaccines from Britain in August
Britain is prepared to give millions of vaccines to Ireland once all adults in the UK have been offered their first jabs.
The UK government yesterday announced that 30 million people had received their first dose of a Covid-19 vaccine, representing 57 per cent of all adults. Boris Johnson, the UK prime minister, has said that all adults in the UK will be offered their first dose of a vaccine by the end of July.
Michael Gove, the Cabinet Office minister, has held broad discussions with Brandon Lewis, the Northern Ireland secretary, about the plans.
It is the intention of the Irish government that 80 per cent of all adults will have received one dose of the vaccine by the end of June.
Sure we won’t need them by then. Probably the shite AZ ones. May as well fuck them in the bin.
No use for them in August really.
The only benefit of those vaccines would be prior to June and effectively all it would take from the UK is a 1-2 day supply of their vaccines which would make a seismic difference in the pace of the Irish rollout.
The Brits only offering all of their adults a first vaccine by the end of July seems very conservative. I know they have a huge catchup to now do on second vaccines but by the end of June Ireland hope to have 80% done and 60% with second doses.
Something doesn’t really add up there.
At the moment Ireland are on 14% or so with the first jab and the UK are on 50% plus. Britain are probably also slightly ahead of fully vaccinated figures.
Look at the charts below.
It’s weird how you seem to think other countries should give us their vaccines before they vaccinate their own people.
Where did I say that?
I do think it would make sense for all parties particularly with the land border between north and south.
Is this more word play from donnelly? “On average”. Administered "quickly ".
Who would have thought that a management consultant would be able to spoof so easily?

Why would it make sense for the UK to give vaccines to us to use rather than use them for their own residents?
No figures for Moderna yet.
I reckon about 195k due in this week (based on 2.13 ratio for Pfizer). No idea how many of them are due in at the start of the week (March) vs end of the week (April)
I’ve already explained why in my last post. The only land border they have with a territory outside the UK is with Ireland and it would make sense for them that Ireland be in line with their reopening plans. 1-2 days supply is all it would take to bring Ireland in line with them.
You might note that the US have distributed 4m vaccines to Canada and Mexico to aid this also.
In Belgium Pfizer typically seems to be delivered on a Monday. AZ on a Wednesday/Thursday and Moderna a Friday.
You might have to factor an extra day for Ireland with shipping times.

I’d give him the benefit on the “on average” one.
I think that the May and June figures will definitely be higher than April.
The administered quickly is a bit more vague and open to interpretation.
We’d be lost without that Belgium dashboard.

It’s brilliant. I had a look at the Pfizer figures also.
That would indicate that the Irish equivalent would be 5.36m. According to what I can find Ireland have an order of 5.6m.
