Remembering and raising awareness

Q&A: Brian Rohan

An ecumenical remembrance service for the victims of farm accidents and their bereaved families, friends and neighbours will take place in the Most Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Abbeyleix, Co Laois, on Sunday, June 29.

“We quickly came to realise that there is little or no support available to families that have lost loved ones by way of emotional, practical, business, legal and financial advice,” says main organiser Brian Rohan, whose father, Liam Rohan was tragically involved in a 2012 freak accident on the family farm near Shanahoe in Co Laois, and sadly passed away three days later.
