Dermot Maguire's son Daniel passwed away in September.
The father of a 14-year-old boy who died after inhaling aerosol fumes is urging parents to have conversations with their children about the dangers it poses.
Dermot Maguire's son Daniel passed away in September.
His said conversations need to take place.
His call comes following growing concern in Kildare about young people inhaling aerosols to get high - a practice that can cause sudden cardiac death, even on first use.
A local resident says they saw a group of school-age girls in Naas last week inhaling deodorant through a towel.
Empty cans were found left at the scene.
Speaking to Kfm, Mr Maguire said more public awareness is needed around the dangers of aerosols.
He said some people are also inhaling gas directly from whipped cream dispensers, an issue Kfm listeners have highlighted in the past.
