Tributes have been paid to an 8 year-old boy who died in a slurry tank accident in County Antrim over the weekend.
Robert Christie was working on a farm near Dunloy  with his father when they were overcome by fumes from the mixture.
52 year-old Bertie Christie is critically ill in hospital.
Robert’s school principal Gerry Blanc says he’ll be missed tremendously.  Tragically seven lives have been lost in the last two years in slurry tank incidents, Ian Marshall from the Ulster Farmers’ Union  joins the Shaun Doherty Show to discuss.
