Several councillors in Offaly and the wider region have said that vaccines for Covid-19 should be voluntary and not compulsory during the coming weeks.
All the councillors, when speaking to the Midland Tribune this week, said there should be no compulsion on people and freedom of choice remains very important.
“It has to be voluntary,” stated Cllr Michael Smith, “as that is an important principle of any democracy; but I also think that there will have to be a concerted effort by the HSE and the Government to ensure that as many people as possible are vaccinated in as quick and efficient a manner as possible.”
