Abbeyleix service set to remember farm death victims

All those who lost their lives in farming-related accidents will be remembered in a special ecumenical service in Abbeyleix, Co Laois on Sunday week, June 28.

The second annual Remembrance Service is expected to draw close to 800 parents, children, relations and friends of tragic accident victims from across the country.

It is being organised by Embrace FARM— a voluntary organisation established to honour the memory of those who died and suffered serious injury in farm accidents and to support their next of kin.
