'The empty chair in the house and Christmas time as well - that’s very hard without him'

As part of Agri Month, the Irish Examiner speaks to those whose lives were forever impacted by farm accidents 

Majella Philpott's father Dan died after a farm accident 9 years ago in 2011. Here she is with a picture of her dad and her nephew Daniel.

When Majella Philpott from Killarney headed off for a drive with her friend on July 28, 2011, after spending the previous three days helping her dad to fence on his farm, little did she realise how her day would turn out.

Within a couple of hours her father Dan lay dead in a field after he was run over by a tractor and Majella was on her way back to the family farm in Banteer, Cork.
