I think that's the paper there:https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3790399 Only 6% in that paper received the AZ vaccine, but somehow that's enough for then to draw the conclusion is effective in 65+ It seems to be the same as the Scottish research, lacking data on 65+.

Whether the delay in our vaccine rollout is due to the level of supplies coming into the country is an entirely secondary issue and it is nonsense to claim, as Embraer187 did, that "Ireland is doing exceptionally well on the vaccine roll out" because we have used almost all our available supplies. It disturbs me that so many posters here fail to understand this point. It seems that what matters to them is that blame should not attach to those administering the vaccines, even if our rollout is clearly lagging behind our nearest neighbour. Imagine a business with the hottest new product in the world. People are literally begging for the stuff. The retail manager says to the CEO "I know we have only met a fraction of the demand and our nearest competitor has sold 10 times more than us but we're really doing exceptionally well. Look - our shelves are almost empty! Or is this the normal business model of the HSE? Look at those waiting lists!

Liverpool and Everton were the last two Premiership clubs allowed small number of fans in their stadiums before the current UK lockdown, after being one of the worst-hit areas of the UK just months earlier. The reason, mass rapid testing.https://www.google.ie/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/amp/uk-england-merseyside-55044488 The problem with PCR is not accuracy, it’s the inability to identify asymptomatic case that do not present for tests!!

One real way to take some cost out of the HSE etc. is a digitial identity like Estonia, they are world leadershttps://e-estonia.com/solutions/e-identity/id-card/

The UK has plants producing vaccine which is has effectively nationalised to keep away from other countries, they emergency approved vaccines ahead of other countries and are not following manufacturer's instructions on dosing for the vaccines, in addition, their majority vaccine may not be as effective in the older generation (data pending) or against some of the variants of the disease. They also have had much more cases and deaths per capita than Ireland has, and in the end, after the vaccine rollout, we might end up 3-6 weeks behind them, but with a much lower death count than they had.
