TRSI 181 - PPARS was basically the civil service’s Vietnam

The Irish vaccine rollout is one of the slowest in Europe, with a government target for the end of February that is lower than Israel has vaccinated in a single day, and with the distribution of the vaccine to nursing homes already having to be delayed due to issues with paperwork.
