Isn't that in Clare?

Yes, although they use corbally (limerick) as their address they are actually more like ardnacrusha (clare) although they use the 061 (limerick) area code although google earth very clearly show them as North of the river (clare)

It's not as clear cut as that. Newport, North Tipperary, is also 061 and also eircode V94, as is Parteen/Clonlara/Adrnacrusha which is Co Clare as well. Yes, using Limerick, in the same way the Radisson do, is just helpful to them moreso than anything.

There are still many people in Shannon banks who use Corbally Limerick as their address as well as they always had long before the likes of Westbury was ever established even though they've always been in Co Clare which is Knockballynameath.

The place in question is Gillogue rather than Ardnacrusha.

Most of South Clare is actually Limerick don't pretend you don't know that

Geographical location & postal address are two different things. Hence the reason why the Eircode Finder shows both the geographical & postal address. For example, Newport Co. Tipperary has Limerick as its postal address.

FYP

Ok, so I've finally got my appointment for Sunday in the racecourse, but they want to give me the Moderna. No thanks. If I reply "New", will it just give me a new appointment with the same vaccine, or is there a possibility of getting a different vaccine? Basically, I will only take the Pfizer. I've no issues waiting until the last person in Ireland to get it, but only the Pfizer.

I'll ring them tomorrow if no one can confirm. Cheers!

Must be Moderna day on Sunday so!

You refuse the vaccine you go to the back of the queue. Been stated a few times on the news.

Ok, I know all that, but what I'm asking is if I send back "New", will it still be Moderna or am I back in the lottery? I'll only take Pfizer for personal reasons, and as stated, I have no issues with waiting to be the last person if that's the case. Just wondering if anyone here has sent back "New" and got a different vaccine.

Anyone know how strict they are on appointment times out at the racecourse? if you showed up earlier (say an hour) for your second appointment at the racecourse would you be ok?

On my first appointment, they were making some people wait outside at the little roundabout as they were more than 10 minutes early. That was back in June, and it wasn't even that busy the day I was there. I have a friend that went for her second jab first thing in the morning on the day of her appointment, but her actual time was in the evening. She had a work engagement that she couldn't get out of so chanced her arm. Explained at the entrance and they let her in. That was in the Racecourse.

I'd say you could head out and plead your case. It doesn't seem to be mad busy there now and they're friendly enough to talk to. I had my second shot last Thursday, and was in and out in 25 minutes. No queue at all to speak of.

My 2nd was 29 days after the first. You'll see your appointment on the HSE Vaccine site a few days before you get notification. I found it scheduled there on the Sunday before the appointment on Thursday, but I only got the text on the Tuesday evening.

I too would suspect that people coming at a unscheduled times are causing delays later in the day

40 and 41 year olds being done in Dublin, Cork and Waterford this weekend, second shots

Not a peep in Limerick for 43 and 42 year olds

Great...........

Well clearly they won't, as younger cohorts in Dublin are getting theirs already, so no, they won't.

Can you put the bit about being on time in mod voice so people have to do it :)

Head out for the first one then hang round and enjoy the delights of Patrickswell for a bit till the second jab

First 304 bus from Castletroy on a Sunday is 7:02am which means you could get a bus over(little to no traffic to the hospital), switch buses and head out. By rights if you connected on the first 8am bus you'd be there just in time.
