Concerns are being raised about the number of Covid-19 vaccination centres being set up in rural areas. 37 centres will be established nationally with at least one in each county.

Fianna Fáil's Eamonn O'Cuiv says many people in his constituency of Galway West are worried about having to travel to Galway City or Castlebar for an injection.
