THE IRISH GOVERNMENT has finally found a supplier for medicinal cannabis.
The Department of Health confirmed to TheJournal.ie that a licence for the importation of “specified cannabis containing products” has been granted.
The licence was granted to a commercial enterprise in January 2019.
It is understood Health Minister Simon Harris will bring proposals about the cannabis access programme to Cabinet next month.
It’s over two years since the minister announced that a medicinal cannabis access programme was to be established, but since then no scheme has been rolled out.
The delay has been blamed on the government running into problems finding a quality assured supplier of cannabis and a supplier that can export its products to Ireland.
