Gardai were called to a premises in Coolock in the early hours of this morning.

Two young children have been taken to hospital after eating jellies, possibly containing cannabis.

The incident happened in the early hours of this morning in north Dublin.

Stephen Murphy has the details:

"Gardai were called to a premises in Coolock in the early hours of this morning after reports of two young children eating what may have been cannabis jellies.

The 3 and 4 year old boys were taken to Temple Street Children's Hospital where they're still receiving treatment

No arrests have been made and someone not related to the children is helping Gardai with their enquiries.

Child and family agency Tusla has been notified.

Last month, the Food Safety Authority issued a warning about the dangers of eating edible cannabis products like jellies.

It's after a number of teenagers ended up in hospital after consuming them."

Gardaí are investigating reports of two young children who consumed jellies possibly containing cannabis component THC.

Any product infused with THC is controlled under the Misuse of Drugs Act and possession is illegal. For further information see: https://t.co/sJwo9U7tMW pic.twitter.com/ALTmrEJfaU
