In March 2021 the Irish Oireachtas committee on foreign affairs issued a report calling on the Irish Government to endorse the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) Covid-19 Technology Access Pool (C-TAP), which is a mechanism to share intellectual property rights, data and know-how to enable increased production and supply of COVID-19 vaccines, medicines and diagnostics to tackle the pandemic, and the report recommends the Irish Government actively engage with the pharmaceutical industry in order to secure their participation in the C-TAP. Darren J. Prior spoke to Aisling McMahon a spokesperson for Access to Medicines Ireland about the report.
