The Government has announced it will not oppose Opposition proposals in the Dáil to make cannabis available for medicinal purposes.
Minister for Health Simon Harris confirmed he will facilitate a Bill put forward by People Before Profit TD Gino Kenny and allow it to progress to committee stage in the Dáil.
His statement came following a meeting with Mr Kenny and his Dáil colleague, Richard Boyd Barrett.
Mr Harris said he did not agree with all of the contents of the proposed legislation.
