What year did the MMR come out in Ireland?

    Does anyone know what year the MMR was introduced into Irish schools? There is a case of the mumps going on out in my college and I can't remember if I get mine or not. I do have a circular needle mark on my arm from a needled (not sure if that's the BCG though). I remember getting another needle in school that was kinda a stamp needle with possibly multiple needles on it - does this sound like the MMR?

    Circular mark on arm is most likely BCG. Other "multiple needles" was test to see if you needed a booster BCG
