Taoiseach Micheál Martin will join other EU leaders on video conference later today to discuss the target of vaccinating 70% of the EU's adult population by the summer.

The issues of the threat of new variants of the Covid virus and the potential for more coordinated lockdowns will also be on the agenda.

Leaders will also discuss the idea of a certificate for those who have received the vaccine that would be recognised in other member states and beyond.

It comes as there has been a dip in the delivery of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine this week due to the company having to change production methods in order to have much higher doses available from the end of March.
