A top ploughman died in a farm accident in Wexford yesterday as some of his family were at the National Ploughing Championships in Offaly.

The death of Martin Kehoe Jr, while working on a molasses, or slurry, tank in Foulksmills, shocked the National Ploughing Association (NPA).

Very sad news, three small children fatherless too. Ireland does seem to be plagued by these deaths in slurry tanks etc, you would think that the message of just how dangerous they are would have got through by now?
