Vera Twomey: 'No going back' despite illness and injury in 200km walk for daughter's medicinal cannabis

A mother who has walked over 200kms from Cork and Dublin in a desperate bid to secure medicinal cannabis for her seriously ill daughter has vowed this evening to camp outside the Dáil until the law is changed.

Vera Twomey is due to arrive outside Leinster House around lunchtime tomorrow after her week-long march, writes Eoin English of the Irish Examiner.
