Changes to the vaccine rollout plan have angered gardaí and teachers who say they are 'shocked and dismayed' at the overhaul to the prioritisation list.

The Taoiseach announced yesterday that people will be allowed to travel within their county from April 12, while a new 'vaccine bonus' — permitting two fully vaccinated households or people to meet socially indoors — comes into force immediately.
