Martin: EU will learn lessons from 'problematic' vaccine rollout

Micheál Martin said the EU should have emulated the United States' Project Warp Speed to "cut through red tape" and deliver vaccines faster. 

The EU will "learn lessons" from the "problematic" vaccine rollout, the Taoiseach has said.

Micheál Martin was speaking to the Washington DC-based Brookings Institute as part of his slate of virtual St Patrick's Day events, leading up to a virtual meeting with US president Joe Biden on Wednesday. The traditional programme of events has been cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
