It is believed that the toddler’s injuries were sustained around 2pm when the steel divider in a horse box fell on him, pinning him to the ground.
He was airlifted by helicopter from a site near Toormore, Goleen, to Bishopstown GAA Grounds before being transferred by ambulance to CUH, where he was pronounced dead a short time later.
Separate Garda and the Health and Safety Authority investigations have been launched.
