abstract = {This article examines to what extent solidarity can be promoted in contested political spaces as part of mounting an effective response to public health emergencies. It examines the Covid-19 vaccination programmes in Ireland and Northern Ireland and identifies challenges in promoting solidarity in the island of Ireland. In these circumstances, it is suggested that a promising way forward in promoting solidaristic practices would encompass working from a baseline of shared health values, drawing upon (cross-border) institutional and jurisdictional support structures. Accordingly, building on a model set out by Prainsack and Buyx, we propose a tripartite solidarity framework which is not tiered or hierarchical in approach. Instead, it comprises three dimensions – jurisdictional, institutional and interpersonal –with shared health values operating as a centrifugal force.},
