Vera Twomey given five different options by Government
More than five different options have been put on the table by the Government for Cork mother Vera Twomey who has been campaigning for medicinal cannabis.
The Aghabullohg woman mounted a protest walk from Cork to the Dáil after her application for medicinal cannabis for her sever-year-old daughter Ava was rejected by the government on the grounds that a pediatric neurologist hadn't signed off on the application.
Ava suffers from a rare form of epilepsy and needs the cannabis oil to help reduce her seizures.
All eyes were on Leinster House yesterday when Vera arrived with hundreds of supporters.
