Anger over location of Covid vaccination centre in Limerick
Reporter:
THE proposed location of the Covid-19 vaccination centre for Limerick has been strongly criticised.
The Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly has confirmed the centre will be located at the Radission Blu Hotel which is actually located in County Clare.
Social media has been awash with criticism of the location and Deputy Richard O Donoghue says having it in County Clare makes no sense and is an insult to people living in Limerick. They couldn t have picked a worse location, he said. It will take a person from Abbeyfeale an hour to get there and even longer from Kilbehenny. They would be faster going to centres in Tipperary and Kerry. The Radisson is at the wrong side of the city for most people. I ve nothing against the Radisson - it is a fabulous hotel - it is the location I have a problem with, said the independent TD.
