Ireland’s new age-based system should help speed up the vaccination roll out, the WHO’s special envoy on Covid-19, Dr David Nabarro has said.

While he did not like commenting on national policy and had not spoken with the Irish Government, Dr Nabarro, said that the revised system made sense to him.
