A teenage boy has died following a tragic farming accident in Castlemaine Co Kerry, reports independent.ie.

Gardai have confirmed the teenager (14) died yesterday at Temple St Children’s University Hospital, after he was airlifted there from University Hospital, Tralee.

His death was the result of a Quad bike accident at Ballygamboon, Castlemaine, Co Kerry on Tuesday April 16, 2019.

Local Councillor Michael O’Shea told Radio Kerry that the loss of a child is every family's worst nightmare.

"Words can't explain the shock and disbelief in the local communities of Castlemaine, Milltown and Beaufort."

Cllr O’Shea sent his deepest sympathies to the family and said the neighbouring communities would support them.
