Lord Mayor Haughey said, “I was completely shocked and saddened when the tragic news came through that a young Glenanne farmer had lost his life in a farm accident. My sincerest sympathies are with his wife, his two wee children and his entire family and friends circle. I know a lot of local farmers are completely devastated by this tragedy and the lost of such a young and popular man.
“It’s often said that farms can be dangerous places and unfortunately that is so true. Especially at this time of the year when the entire farming community are out working the fields. This tragedy is a very hard reminder to us all to increase safety on all our farms.”
