Tributes have been paid to a 'special' and 'bubbly' young Irish woman after she passed away from a reaction to a coffee on holiday.
Aika Doheny had been in Japan visiting family when she became seriously ill earlier this month after drinking what is believed to have been a soya-based coffee.
After many efforts to ease the allergic reaction, she was taken to hospital and entered the ICU.
