The mum of tragic teen, Emma Sloan has paid tribute to her daughter on the third anniversary of her death.

Heartbroken mum, Caroline Sloan posted a touching tribute to the teenager who would have turned 18-years-old in January.

She asked everyone to think of her daughter and "hope that she is happy wherever her spirit is".

The Drimnagh teen tragically passed away in December 2013 after she suffered a severe allergic reaction to a peanut-based sauce she ate in a Chinese restaurant.

Caroline rushed her daughter to Hamilton's Pharmacy on O'Connell Street when she went in to anaphylactic shock.

But she was refused a life-saving epi-pen from pharmacist David Murphy, and Emma died on the street minutes later.

Three years on Caroline Sloan's sense of loss for her little girl has not waned.

In a previous interview, the devastated mum told Dublin Live: "I don't know where those three years have gone. I can't believe I haven't spoken to her in three years or heard her laugh.

"I know everyone knows her picture and she would have loved that, because she loved the attention and she was a really drama-queen.

"She was gorgeous and she was such a good person as well, she was so good-natured, she was a big softie. "

Today, in a Facebook post commemorating her beautiful daughter she said: "I no longer have the ability to try to put into words the sense of sadness, loss, emptiness, loneliness and the sheer anger and frustration that you, my beautiful girl were robbed of your life.

"So can I just ask everyone to give Emma Louise Sloan a little thought, on this her 3rd anniversary and hope Beyond hope that she is happy wherever her spirit is xxxx I love you xxx."

Thanks to Caroline's tireless campaign efforts, it is now a legal requirement for pharmacies to supply epi-pens in emergency situations.
