This mother is walking from Cork to the Dáil to get help for her sick daughter
Those were the words of Vera Twomey, who today began to walk from her home in Cork to Dublin to protest at the Dáil. She has been petitioning the Government to grant permission for her daughter to use medicinal marijuana.
Her daughter, six-year-old Ava Barry, was diagnosed with Dravet syndrome, a rare, drug-resistant epilepsy which causes her to have hundreds of seizures daily.
