It could be a runner for the UK government to offer Covid-19 vaccines to the Republic of Ireland, Stormont s First Minister Arlene Foster has said.
Mrs Foster told Irish national broadcaster RTÉ she would be making that point again when they next meet.
A UK government spokesperson said there was currently no surplus of vaccine.
It quoted a cabinet source who said the idea was both good politics and would address genuine public health concern in Northern Ireland .
With a much faster rollout of the vaccine north of the Irish border, the newspaper said the offer would help Northern Ireland s effort to ease lockdown measures.
