Vera Twomey arrived in Dublin in a wheelchair after her long journey from Cork as part of a fight to get life-saving cannabis oil treatment for her daughter Ava who suffers from Dravet’s Syndrome.
Vera a mother of four began the 260km trek last Monday, as part of her protest to introduce new cannabis laws in Ireland.
Ava her seven year old daughter has a rare form of epilepsy and suffers from violent seizures.
Vera says she is fearful her daughter will die if cannabis oil is not made legal for medicinal use.
She began the journey on foot, is now being pushed in a wheelchair due to injuries to her legs.
Health Minister Simon Harris says he will meet Vera when she arrives at Leinster House.
