Incorrect reporting on vaccine delegation

It has been incorrectly reported on social media and some newspapers that leaders of the Methodist Church are part of a delegation accompanying Jim Wells when he visits the deputy chief medical advisor to discuss ‘ethical alternative to the vaccine’.
No representative of the Methodist Church in Ireland is part of this delegation, a fact which has been confirmed by Mr Wells.

The Methodist Church in Ireland solidly supports the vaccine programme (the President’s statement is here) and other mitigations to halt the spread of this virus.
Being vaccinated and carefully adhering to all other mitigations are ways in which we can be good neighbours to one another.
