People Before Profit TD Gino Kenny has returned fire in a row with the Taoiseach over his response to a parliamentary question on medicinal cannabis this week.
Leo Varadkar was accused of being "disrespectful" after responding "same reply" to the query on financial aid for a family spending nine thousand euro a year to get the treatment.
Today he claimed Deputy had only posed the question in order to get a clip he could share on social media, in an interview with RTÉ Radio.
But the Dublin Mid-West TD says that was not the case -- and the Taoiseach is only making things worse.
"I have every right to ask him a question under promised legislation," he said.
"What Leo Varadkar said this morning compounds the disrespect he has shown for this issue -- not only for myself, but for all the other families that have been campaigning for medicinal cannabis over the last three years."
