The public mood in Ireland is just incoherent rage at the moment.
A fella with a vaccine will clean up in coppers when it’s only nurses allowed in
Presume Champ Martin will be calling out the theft of vaccines by Tusla as repugnant.

Asked a GP about this… Over 70s in 3 cohorts… GMS patients, non GMS but in receipt of a non means tested doctor visit card… Or private patients… Bulk of the over 70s fall into first 2 categories…
You automatically get allocated vaccines for first categories based on pro ráta allocation for nó of patients… You could in theory order a shit load of vaccines for over 70s private patients… You don’t need to provide their details up front. But you wont be paid for the vaccination until you do a claim with patient name and PPS number… So that’s how they control the allocation

The Nally Stand would be full with a few doctors and nurses scattered around the place.
Russia Demands Vaccine Shots Back After Slovakia Doubts Quality
Slovakia and Russia clashed over the Sputnik V Covid-19 vaccine after the European Union member accused Moscow of delivering shots that were different from those used in a peer-reviewed study.
Russia rejected the allegations and demanded Bratislava return the 200,000 doses it sent. The dispute may set back efforts to use Sputnik widely in Europe. Slovakia was one of a few members of the bloc pushing to use the Russia-developed vaccine to help speed the roll-out of inoculations. But political tensions over the push to use what one critic called “a tool in hybrid war” caused a crisis that cost Prime Minister Igor Matovic his job.
EU regulators are still reviewing Sputnik’s application and the process could take several months, leading some nations to undertake their own checks to accelerate approval.
But a day after saying it hasn’t received sufficient documentation from the Sputnik’s developers to declare it safe and effective, the Slovak regulator went further, charging that the doses it received have different properties than the ones described in an article in The Lancet medical journal earlier this year. That widely cited report found Sputnik to be 91.6% effective and gave a major boost to Russia’s efforts to distribute it abroad, allaying some concerns about the Kremlin’s rush to approve the vaccine at home.
“According to published reports, Sputnik should be used in about 40 countries, although these vaccines are associated only by the name,” Zuzana Batova, the head of Slovak State Institute for Drug Control, said in a report. “The comparability and consistency of various batches produced in different places hasn’t been confirmed. In several cases, it appears that the vaccines have different properties.”
The Slovak regulator said Wednesday it was still conducting tests, but added that it hasn’t been able to come to a conclusion about the risks and benefits of Sputnik because of the “lack of a large amount of data from the producer, the inconsistency of the drug forms and the inability to compare batches used in various studies and countries.”
Sputnik’s developers dismissed the claims as “disinformation” and said all batches of the inoculation are of the same quality and undergo vigorous quality control.
“In violation of existing contract and in an act of sabotage the State Institute of Drug Control ensured that Sputnik V tested in a laboratory which is not part of the EU’s Official Medicines Control Laboratory network,” the developers wrote on Twitter.
Looking at the latest ECDC report, the total vaccine delivered for Q1 was 1187100.

I don’t but I vaguely remember Art posting about it.
She was drunkenly giving it the Big I Am to some plebs and the video was posted up all over the Internet before it was taken down everywhere
She is surely a qualified Chartered Accountant by now.
