Labour leader Alan Kelly has accused Health Minister Stephen Donnelly of being 'incompetent' during a heated exchange over the Covid-19 vaccine rollout plan in the Dáil

LABOUR LEADER ALAN Kelly has accused Health Minister Stephen Donnelly of being “incompetent” during a heated exchange over the Covid-19 vaccine rollout plan in the Dáil.

Raising his voice, the Labour leader continued: “What the hell is going on here? You are responsible to Dáil Éireann, you’re responsible to the people of Ireland and you’re refusing to give out the estimated figures for vaccines for the next three months, which the whole country is dependant on. The Health Minister said he had the “most detailed figures” he could give but that Kelly hadn’t left him any time during the session to give them.

Shouting at someone is not on!!!

Estimahed figures 🤣

Nice crescendo there from deputy Kelly. But does he care. Does he really care? Or is it all for sham?

LabourMeath Fabulous and correct emotion on behalf of citizens. We are boiling mad why also jabs for own families, private teachers, CEO’s are allowed to jump q’s as People dying. People waiting

When is this minister going to to his job and sack all those dickheads giving vaccines to family and golfing buddies and teachers 30000 vaccines are un accounted for. Will this be swept under the carpet....FFS Minister do your FN job.

Showboating.

And we are supposed to have faith in the vaccine rollout. Covid chaos: 500 no-shows at vaccination centre as HSE issues duplicate appointments to healthcare workers who already got their jab

Kelly continuing to object to age based rollout. So can he give his order for special groups...Gardai, Prison Officers, carers, SNAs, teachers, supermarket employees, construction workers, refuse collectors etc etc. And his rationale for his order.

This is what DonnellyStephen was doing when he was in opposition. He had the answer and solution for everything. When give the job to do himself, he's proved to be an absolute disaster. 🙄 He's totally clueless, and inept!

Stephen Donnelly sitting there with a look of pure distain while he gets berated. Similar look he had when Catherine Connolly took him to task. It's very much a look of 'how dare you question me'

alankellylabour A retired doctor or nurse might need a half an hour refresher at most about how to administer a vaccine. It's totally nuts, how many highly paid people are there in the HSE, isn't this why they're meant to be on top money, the ability to sort things

Word.

Grandstanding. 'Demanding' figures he knows to be highly contingent upon issues outside anyone's control just so he shout about them. Grandstanding.

CroninLetty Well done Alan!!!!

alankellylabour It's not just about vaccine supply it's a lot about vaccinators. The fact that people who could vaccinate have to go through such a rigmarole to be okayed is ridiculous, a year ago the HSE should have realised we'd need a mass vaccination programme in Ireland.

Stephen Donnelly face says it all, he is in over his head 😒

Not fond of the water tax man ,but he is impressive here
