On the 23rd February, just 10 days ago, @MichealMartinTD told us that we would administer 1.25 million vaccines “by the end of March”.

We'll hit 500,000 this week apparently and, now, plan to be at around 585,000 by Sunday March 14th.
This means that we'll have to administer 665,000 doses over the last 16 days of March.

Amazed that in all the coverage this evening on the #rtenews there was no mention of us missing, by a lot, our own modest vaccination target of 100k for last week.

Maybe it was covered in the earlier bulletin.
I did hear @kierancuddihy on @NewstalkFM cover it strongly.

I want to address something @campaignforleo did on #rtenews last night. It’s something that if not noted and stopped will be dangerous to political debate here. I’m talking about his vile attempts to smear concerns with hyperbole.
He began by saying he didn’t want to see @FitzgeraldFrncs “decapitated”.
This went unchallenged and therefore deemed an acceptable term for what are genuine concerns about the Tanaiste’s capabilities to do her job.

He then used the words execution and public hanging. These also went unchallenged. This is the very language Leo claimed to abhor about social media. But here he was on the National Broadcaster using these vile terms.
