March in Macroom to raise awareness for plight of Ava Barry
Hundreds of people attended a march in Macroom to highlight the plight of seven-year-old Ava Barry who has Dravet syndrome and whose family are campaigning for her to be given access to medical cannabis,
Her mother Vera Twomey, from Aghabullogue in mid Cork, walked from Mallow to Dáíl Eireann earlier this month to highlight her daughter's barriers to accessing THC-based medication, where she met with Health Minister Simon Harris.
