A young boy, 9, who died from injuries sustained in an accident on a quadbike in Co Laois last year had taken the vehicle without his father’s permission, an inquest has heard.
Jokubas Sliosoras, who came originally from Lithuania, was pronounced dead at Children’s Health Ireland at Temple Street in Dublin on February 11, 2021.
A sitting of Dublin City Coroner’s Court heard the young boy had been transported by air ambulance from near his home in Dooary, Ballyroan, Co Laois the previous morning after his father had discovered him lying in a field with a quadbike turned on its side.
