Young people at the funeral of a teenager who died after taking part in a ‘neknomination’ challenge at the weekend have been urged to be brave and say no in order to halt the craze which has left a family “torn asunder”.

The Irish Council of General Practitioners has described 'neknominations' as an incredibly worrying development.

The family and friends of the first ever reported victim of a 'Neknomination' are calling for the craze to stop.
