It's arguably good PR, and good for the Republic of Ireland.

But once the headlines die down it doesn't change very much on the ground. The EU have a contract dispute with Astrazenica until there is a risk to supply of EU vaccines to the UK (which isn't yet the case) we should leave them to it.

It may have been Damien but apologies if it wasn't but someone did raise the prospect of the UK supplying vaccines to the Republic at some point if EU supplies continued to be flagging. I think there's a reasonable justification for this in the interests of Northern Ireland and the Common Travel Area once our vaccine programme has been successful.
