The vaccination of teachers, special needs assistants (SNAs), and a number of support staff at special schools at the Aviva Stadium this week was "an error", according to the HSE.

Staff at a number of special schools in CHO6, comprising Wicklow, Dun Laoghaire, and Dublin South-East, which includes Health Minister Stephen Donnelly's constituency, were vaccinated on Tuesday by appointment at the stadium.
