Mum’s fury as ‘EpiPen’ charge against pharmacist dismissed

The mother of a teenager who died after going into anaphylactic shock reacted angrily last night after the disciplinary proceedings against a pharmacist were dismissed.

The Pharmaceutical Society inquiry into David Murphy, who was facing an allegation of poor professional performance, was concluded yesterday after the charge against him was dismissed by the inquiry committee due to lack of evidence.

After the committee’s ruling, Caroline Sloan, mother of 14-year-old Emma Sloan who died on O’Connell Street in December 2013, shouted out to Mr Murphy: “You are responsible for my daughter’s death.”
