The Government may be able to break its losing streak by hitting their vaccination target this week, after missing the last three week’s targets. This week’s target has been reduced to 84,000 after we missed our target of 92,000 last week. Two weeks ago our target was 100,000 doses administered a week. Between Monday the […]
HSE CEO Paul Reid has issued a correction after having incorrectly claimed that 600,000 “of the most vulnerable” had been vaccinated. The correct figure, as of the last day of publicly available data we have available to us, is 409,662. It would appear that Mr Reid mistook the total number of vaccine doses administered for […]

Social Democrat election candidate, progressive activist, and podcaster Linda Hayden has issued an apology following the discovery of divisive tweets she had sent. Speaking of the tweets Hayden said that “I wasn’t always a good person…I was an asshole who had no exposure to people of colour or the Travelling community”, but added she was […]
The Government missed last week’s vaccination target, 94,000, by 12,346 doses after a dismal performance over the weekend. Between Monday the 1st and Sunday the 7th of March we administered 81,654 doses of vaccine, compared to 83,442 the week before. Only 10,285 doses were administered over the weekend, the lowest number since GPs became involved […]
Previously Gript has revealed on some of the comments made by the zero-Covid group ISAG about politicians and media figures who they felt most positively about. But we have also reported that ISAG members have discussed the need to identify people who they could target personally as “enemies”, and their internal communities show that ISAG […]
The number of vaccines administered Monday to Saturday last week was only 79,328, meaning it is highly unlikely the Government hit its target of administering 94,000 doses last week. Between Monday the 1st and Saturday the 6th of March, the last day we have data for, we administered 79,328 doses, compared to 81,523 the week […]
The number of vaccines administered Monday to Friday fell compared to the previous week. The current rate of administration means it is highly unlikely that we will hit the Government’s vaccination target for March. Between Monday the 1st and Friday the 5th of March we administered 70,106 doses, compared to 72,087 the week before. The […]
The number of vaccines administered this week, to date, is lower than we have seen in the previous two weeks. The current rate of administration means it is highly unlikely that we will hit the Government’s vaccination target for March. The Government has said that they will aim to administer 84,000 doses next week. Hitting […]
Yesterday Gript reported that the International Fact-Checking Network, the IFCN, had told Gript that some of the fact-checking material published by the Journal.ie did not meet their requirements to be considered fact-checking but was instead “non-fact-checking content.” You can read more on that story HERE. The IFCN accredits the Journal as a fact-checker and their […]
At current trends the Government is likely to miss, by a substantial margin, its target of administering 1.25 million doses of vaccines by the 31st of March. We had administered, as of the 2nd of March, 460,640 doses. Hitting this target would require us to administer 789,360 doses over a 29-day period, a rate of […]
Only 5,780 doses of vaccine were administered on Monday of this week. Low numbers over the past few weekends, and Mondays, has led to the Government missing its weekly vaccination numbers for the last two weeks running. The Government has blamed those failures to hit targets on supply issues but that does not appear to […]
