Inchicore, Dublin 8.
Vera Twomey with supporters on the final day of her 260km walk from her home in Cork to the Dáil.
Vera’s walk is a protest against decisions to restrict her seven-year-old daughter Ava, who has a rare form of epilepsy, from accessing cannabis-based medication.
Worsening health has forced Vera to finish her journey in a wheelchair.
Vera is expected to arrive at Leinster House, Kildare Street, Dublin 2 at approx 3pm today.
All welcome.
