TÁNAISTE Leo Varadkar has said it may be possible that everyone who wants a vaccine could be offered one by the end of June. Mr Varadkar told the Fine Gael parliamentary party that given evidence from other countries that between 10pc and 15pc of people decline the vaccine it was possible that everyone who wants a vaccine could be offered one by the end of June. Mr Varadkar told his parliamentary party on Wednesday that he had only recently learned that family homelessness is down nearly 40pc since the peak. Mr Varadkar said he and Fine Gael were very supportive of the project and said that any appeal by An Taisce should be expedited. Louth TD Fergus O’Dowd defended the work of An Taisce but suggested it should be invited to address the parliamentary party.
