A vaccination centre will open at Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Cork this week and operate as one of 11 centres nationally as the rollout of Covid-19 vaccines ramps up.

The GAA stadium will now be used for the rollout of vaccines for the first time this week when the final group of healthcare staff receive their jabs on Thursday and Friday.
