Mum of poorly Ava Twomey denies seized cannabis oil was stunt

A mother who had medicinal cannabis she purchased for her gravely ill daughter seized at Dublin Airport last Friday has hit out at claims that it was a publicity stunt.

Customs officials confiscated THC cannabis oil from Vera Twomey after questioning her for an hour after she got off a flight from Barcelona.

She voluntarily made customs officials aware of the fact that she had the THC oil on her person as the product had not been detected by sniffer dogs.
