Dublin Fire Brigade union representatives will meet with management on Tuesday warning that they will "assess their options" as vaccinations for 1,100 firefighters and paramedics remain outstanding.

The vaccination programme for firefighters began last month and was scheduled to take place for three days a week for three weeks. However, just 240 members of the service were vaccinated due to supplies of vaccines being low.
