Minutes matter if a child is choking, campaign warns

A British couple whose baby girl choked to death in a nursery have brought their first-aid campaign to Ireland.

Joanne and Dan Thompson have met Minister for Children James Reilly to highlight the need for better training for childcare staff.

They are also assisting parliamentary efforts by Independent TD Denis Naughten to strengthen the law here to ensure that all childcare staff have appropriate training to deal with a life threatening incident such as choking.
