Over nine out of ten TDs would get a Covid-19 vaccine if it was available to them, according to research by RTÉ's Today with Claire Byrne.
Of the 160 TDs in Dáil Éireann including the Ceann Comhairle, 144 said they would get the jab, three said they would not get the vaccine, two are undecided while 11 TDs did not respond.
When those who did not respond are taken out, 96.6% of TDs are in favour of getting the vaccine. All parties stressed the need for priority groups to get the vaccine first.
The figures will be widely welcomed by public health officials, with concerns around vaccine uptake after two different polls indicated 70% of Irish people intend to get the shot.
