Cork mother to meet Health Minister to seek the immediate legalisation of medicinal cannabis
A Cork mother is due to meet the Health Minister today one week after she mounted a walk to Dublin in an effort to highlight the plight of her daughter Ava.
Vera Twomey left her Aghabullogue home last week with the intention of marching on the Dail to seek the immediate legalisation of medicinal cannabis which helps to reduce the severity of the seizures her daughter suffers..
Minister Simon Harris contacted her directly when she reached Mallow and pledged his full support for her campaign and offered to meet her today...
Speaking to RedFM News Vera says she agreed to suspend her walk but she will resume it from Mallow if he reneges on the promise of support he made to her:
