A Fianna Fáil politician for the Carlow and Kilkenny area has expressed her delight at the news that Carlow is one of the highest counties in terms of COVID-19 vaccine uptake.
Deputy Jennifer Murnane O' Connor said on Twitter: "Massive well done to the 97.7% Carlovians 18+ vaccinated thus far."
"Carlow is at the top of the league table on vaccine uptake."
She added: "Thanks must go to the brill vaccinators, GPs, pharmacies, support staff keeping us all safe but especially to the 97.7 percent leading the way!"
