Inquest told how Cork toddler was hit by tractor driven by father
Fionn Cashman suffered fatal head injuries after he wandered out into the yard at his home in Drominane, Killeagh, in east Cork, while his father Conor was moving a straw bale between sheds on their land on May 8, 2014.
A statement given by Mr Cashman last summer was read into evidence at Midleton Coroner’s Court yesterday. The vet said that he had front loaded the bale onto his 1988 Case International tractor and was approaching the shed at an angle where he dropped it at approximately 12.25pm on the day in question.
