The Taoiseach accepts there have been some "systems issues" in the Covid-19 booster vaccine programme which has seen people turned away from some vaccination centres but he insists that the HSE is doing “everything possible” to administer the jab to as many people as it can.

Micheál Martin was speaking in Cork on Friday evening after he joined the queue at the City Hall vaccination centre to attend his appointment for his booster jab.
