I note the announcement last week by Pfizer/BioNTech to donate doses of its COVID-19 vaccine to the participants of the Olympic Games, around the world.
These doses of vaccine will be supplementary to the existing allocations that Ireland is administering and will be provided to Olympic and Paralympic athletes and support staff who are travelling to Tokyo to represent Ireland, the number of whom is in the low hundreds.
I look forward to what I hope will be a successful Olympic and Paralympic games for our athletes.
