  • Liffey Champion Tim Ryan, Oireachtas Reporter Gino Kenny Seeks Priority
    Liffey Champion Tim Ryan, Oireachtas Reporter Gino Kenny seeks priority for Bill to legalise medicinal cannabis Dublin Mid-West People Before Profit Deputy Gino Kenny told the Taoiseach that ten days ago he accompanied Vera Twomey on a trip to Barcelona to obtain medicinal cannabis for her daughter. However, on arrival at Dublin Airport, that medicine was taken from her even though she had a prescription. “I would say that medicine was taken from her illegally and she wants it back for the health of her daughter,” he said. “I appeal to the Taoiseach as a person and not as a politician. It is imperative that my Bill is given a date by the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Health. Every week I get phone calls from people in pain who are not criminals, but are being treated like criminals. I ask the Taoiseach to give a date and give some hope to these people. They should not be treated like criminals but like citizens of this country trying to obtain medicinal cannabis. If the Taoiseach could give a date, it would be a really good legacy on his part.” In reply, the Taoiseach said obviously, on a number of occasions in the House the Minister for Health had dealt with the issuing of prescriptions and treatment for particular ailments. “Even if he were so willing he cannot under compassionate grounds issue an instruction for particular medicine to be distributed because it requires a prescription from an authorised clinical person,” he said. “I read the account of Deputy Gino Kenny's involvement in this.

I need about five minutes to get to Agriculture House. I have booked a room in the Leinster House 2000 building to avoid the problem but I do not have a working Internet connection from there. I hope it will be work- ing from next week. I am requesting at least four minutes to get back to the office so that I do not miss what is happening.
