The Health and Safety Authority is investigating the death of a five-year-old boy in a farm accident in Roscommon.
The child was killed after he fell from a trailer on a farm in Castlerea shortly before 6 o'clock yesterday evening.
A post-mortem examination will take place in Roscommon University Hospital.
Jim O'Connor, the chairman of Roscommon IFA, is expressing his condolences.
"We always urge people to be careful in relation to farm safety, but perhaps this morning is not the morning to be referring to farm safety.
"As such I don't know the circumstances surrounding this accident, but it is a great great tragedy to the family of the little child."
