Cork's City Hall has been transformed into one of the HSE's mass vaccination hubs and will see to the vaccination of over-70s in the coming weeks.

It is understood that the facility could be brought into use within days to vaccinate HSE frontline staff with the AstraZeneca vaccine, following a delivery to Ireland of 21,000 doses this weekend.
