lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, someone having to walk hundreds of kilometres to access medicine: you would probably think of sub-Saharan Africa and some unfortunate mother looking to help her child. In the Republic of Ireland, at the moment, we have such a situation: we have a mother called Vera Twomey who is trying to help her daughter Ava Twomey get access to medicine, and to do this she is walking hundreds of kilometres from her home to our parliament in Dublin. The purpose of it is so she can get access to medicine based on tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). She currently can, in Ireland, get access to CBD, which is also a cannabidiol-based treatment, for her daughter. Her daughter suffers from a severe form of epilepsy called Dravet’s syndrome. She suffers multiple seizures. If she could access THC, which she could in Germany, Poland, Great Britain and other countries, her seizures would stop. What I suggest here is that the European Union concentrate on harmonising this, rather than concentrating on jumping through hoops about harmonising what we eat for our breakfast."@en1
