Irish Health Minister announces ‘major step’ on Medicinal Cannabis Access Programme
Vera Twomey supporters outside the Leinster House in Dublin this evening as Ireland moves one step closer to allowing doctors to prescribe medicinal cannabis, after the announcement of the Health Minister Simon Harris who said that all patients with specific illnesses will be able to access the medication with cannabis in the future. Vera Twomey completed the mammoth trek, 260km walk from her house in Cork to Dublin, a month days ago, as a protest against decisions to restrict her seven-year-old daughter, who has a rare form of epilepsy, from accessing cannabis-based medication. On Wednesday, March 29, 2017, in Dublin, Ireland. (Photo by Artur Widak/NurPhoto)
