Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Medical Cannabis Access Programme Update: Discussion (29 Sep 2021)

Gino Kenny: I thank the witnesses for their presentations. The past five years have been very protracted to say the least for those seeking access to medicinal cannabis for themselves or their children.
