A five-year-old boy from Folkestone, Kent, has died following an accident understood to have involved a quad bike in the west of Ireland on Sunday (August 6).
Irish police (Gardaí) and emergency services were called to the scene of the incident which took place on private property, near Castlegregory, Co. Kerry.
It is understood that five-year-old George Francis Freddie Davenport and his family were visiting relatives in the area on holidays.
The child later passed away from his injuries.
He is survived by his parents, Laura and David, and siblings, Cian, Jake and Ellie-Rose.
In a statement to Agriland, Gardaí confirmed that a family liaison officer has been appointed to support the family at this time.
They appealed to the media to give the family privacy, adding that no further information is being made available at this time.
Ireland’s Health and Safety Authority (HSA) has confirmed to Agriland that it has been informed of the incident and has launched an investigation.
