The scene of a suspected farm accident has been preserved in Laois for further investigation after the death of a woman on the property.
The woman, who is aged in her sixties, lost her life after being struck by a vehicle on the farm located in the townsland of Clonenagh, between Portlaoise and Mountrath.
Emergency services rushed to the scene soon after the incident which occurred around 5pm on Monday, January 31.
