Gardaí and the Health Service Authority (HSA) are investigating the incident.

It comes as the HSA warned that the agricultural sector had the highest fatality rate in the country once again last year.

24 people died on Irish farms in 2017.

A total of 47 people lost their lives in work-related accidents last year.
