Cork Based Mother Who Flew To Barcelona To Access Medicinal Cannabis Due To Fly Into Dublin Airport Today
A Cork based mother who travelled to Barcelona to access medicinal cannabis for her son is due to fly into Dublin Airport shortly after midday.
Noreen O'Neill's 2 year old son Michael was born with a rare disease that causes him to suffer seizures.
Noreen has been treating him with CBD oil since the start of the year but fears his condition will worsen over Christmas, prompting her to fly to Spain to access the treatment there.
Three neurologists refused to prescribe medicinal cannabis, meaning Noreen may be prevented from bringing the medication into the country when her flight lands
Speaking to RedFM News, Noreen says she's determined to get the treatment for Michael
