Mother Tells Of Delays In Getting Vital Treatment For Daughter

Vera Twomey says she was waiting 9 hours for documents giving her daughter access to cannabis medication.

The Cork mother who walked 260km to Leinster House is accusing the Department of Health of delaying vital treatment for her daughter.

Vera says she met with the Health Minister for over 5 hours and still doesn’t have the necessary documentation.

Vera’s seven year old daughter Ava suffers from a rare form of epilepsy and believes the treatment should be accessible for those who need it.
