Delays to the Covid-19 vaccine programme will not impact Ireland's reopening, but could slow down a return to international travel.

Tánaiste Leo Varadkar told RTÉ Radio that delays in deliveries of the Johnson & Johnson and AstraZeneca vaccines will be felt more for inward and outward international tourism than it would for Irish businesses reopening.
