MINISTER Patrick O’Donovan has taken a jab back at Deputy Richard O’Donoghue over his comments about him and the vaccine in the Dail last week.
Speaking about vaccine issues and concerns, during questions to the government, Deputy O’Donoghue announced he will take the vaccine after previously expressing reservations. He also brought up a “junior minister for Limerick” (Patrick O’Donovan) saying in the Leader, “Waiting to see how your neighbours get on (with the vaccine) is cowardly”.
In response, Minister O’Donovan said: “I was flabbergasted when I heard the contribution because in the Limerick Leader article in question I didn't refer to any individual and I never named anybody.”
