An Offaly pharmacist says quick access to an Epipen is important.
There's a call for publicly available EpiPen kits to be located next to defibrillators.
More than 1 in 10 people suffer from severe allergies, which need to be treated with EpiPens in the case of a serious reaction.
Fine Gael Senator Evanne Ní Chuilinn is making the suggestion following the success of a scheme in the UK, where anaphylaxis kits and the specialist training required have been rolled out across more than 600 schools by way of a subscription service.
Rose Finlay, from Rose Finaly's Pharmacy in Tullamore, says there's a lot of factors to consider in setting up the kits:
