'As we approach the 2 year anniversary of Harry's death, we are only now beginning to understand the full circumstances surrounding the tragedy.
It has been extremely distressing for the family to listen to the evidence that has been presented to the Coroner and the Jury over the past 2 days.
In particular, the fact that the driver of the tractor was over twice the legal limit when tested at the police station some 2 hours after the collision.
Plus in the police investigator's opinion, Harry was there to be seen had the appropriate observations been made, both before and during the manoeuvre.
It is a legal anomaly that because the accident took place on private property, rather than a public road or public place, there can be no criminal prosecution arising from Harry's death.'
I understand the child was killed needlessly.
