Ulster Unionist Agriculture spokesperson Jo-Anne Dobson MLA has expressed her shock and sadness at the news that three men, all members of the same family, have lost their lives in an accident at a farm near Hillsborough in County Down.
Mrs Dobson said:
"My profound sympathies go out to the family and friends of those who have tragically lost their lives near Hillsborough tonight and my thoughts and prayers are with the female family member who is in hospital.
This is an absolute tragedy and the impact will be felt far beyond the local area and within the farming community throughout Northern Ireland. My heart goes out to the family at this dreadful time."
