Doctors are warning of the dangers of edible cannabis after six children were admitted to a Dublin hospital with accidental poisoning during an eight-week period.
A new study in the Irish Medical Journal has examined the cases which began in March, with five of those admitted to Temple Street Children's Hospital under the age of six.
In one case, a ten-year-old ingested his 26-year-old sibling's cannabis sweets.

Researchers say this is the first series of paediatric cannabis poisoning reported in Ireland.
One of the children suffered seizures, and all six cases were reported to Tusla.
