Video familys farm safety message after sixyearolds tragic death
The heartbroken father of an ‘extraordinary little fellow’ killed in an accident on his farm has told of how Christmas will never be the same without his six year-old son.
Little James Higgins died on January 19, 2008 when he fell into a soak-pit on the family farm near Shannonbridge. Now, almost seven years later, his father Padraig has urged fellow farmers to learn from his family’s tragic story with a simple message – “a farmyard is not a playground”.
