In Ireland over the past two days, two children have died in choking-related tragedies involving food.
On Wednesday, a young boy from Cork choked to death on a piece of fruit - believed to be a grape - at his family home in what has been described as a “devastating tragedy”.
In Co Wicklow last week, a child aged around two years old became ill after complications when eating food in a creche. An ambulance was called to the scene and the child was taken to Crumlin children’s hospital in Dublin, but was later pronounced dead.
