Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Medical Cannabis Access Programme Update: Discussion

Mr. Shaun Flanagan:

On Tilray, we engage with companies on an ongoing basis but at this point, we do not have a date from the company on when it will be able to supply. I would be reluctant to make any commitment. When we were before the committee in private session, we said we expected that a company would be in a position to supply it in July and August, yet we will not have a supply until October. I am comfortable about the supply arriving in October but I am not comfortable making an estimate on when Tilray will definitively be in a position to supply us but we will keep in contact with the company and we will chase it again.
