There is much anger, frustration among Longford s elderly over shortcomings in the Covid-19 roll-out.
Speaking in the Dáil today, Longford /Westmeath Fianna Fáil Deputy Joe Flaherty spoke about how an 86-year-old woman due to be vaccinated on Friday was told it would be another two weeks before the GP gets the supply of vaccine .
While he was also contacted by a 76-year-old woman from Aughnacliffe who said the one thing that sustained her for the past two months has been the anticipation of getting the vaccine and a possible opportunity to visit her new born granddaughter in London. She was angry. Through her tears, she told me that, for the first time in her life, she knows what it is like to be depressed.
