He's urging the public to obtain their second vaccine dose.
The head of the HSE is paying tribute to the people of the Midlands for their hard work in keeping Covid numbers down.
Speaking at the Tullamore Court Hotel, Paul Reid said he's very pleased with the vaccination centre and that the process there was very moving very effectively.
700 people are expected to be vaccinated there today. That figure will rise to closer to a thousand people and from a five day cycle to six days, with twelve hour shifts Monday to Friday and eight hours on Saturday.
Urging the public to get their second vaccine and continue to abide by public health guidelines, he has this message:
