Daniel McConnell: The vaccine rollout has to work — we want our lives back

21 weeks ago, we entered a six-week lockdown and vaccines have been painted as the only route out 

The Taoiseach has said we are on the final stretch of this terrible journey, but because of poor decisions and bad government, we still have no idea how long that stretch will be.

At the end of October, amid mounting concern from public health doctors, Ireland entered the most extreme of level 5 restrictions on our personal freedoms.

We were told it would be for six weeks.
