This is the second incident of its kind here in Tipperary in recent weeks; the last taking place in the village of Killenaule, some 28km distance; on February 19th last, 2020.

My Opinion, For What It’s Worth!
It is interesting to note that the law regarding the sale of a food substance which contains, say peanuts; when sold to any person; thus, causing a life-threatening severe allergic reaction. If the consumer actualy dies, same food vender/supplier can be arrested and charged with manslaughter.
Compare this allergic reaction law with the law covering the illegal sale of psychologically addictive drugs like cocaine; the speed and intensity of which, is highly addictive, resulting in, at best, death from overdose, stroke, thrombosis and most certainly severe internal organ damage.
Time surely to charge arrested drug dealers with manslaughter.
