A number of 12-year-old children drove tractors on the main N56 road in Gortahork on Sunday, October 29, according to An Garda Síochána.
“Some of them couldn’t reach the brake pedals nor did they have the strength to steer the tractors,” according to gardaí.
An Garda Síochána said that “local gardaí are now considering the consequences” of the children participating in the tractor run.
The event was the Teach Ruairí Tractor Run which was held over the Bank Holiday weekend on Sunday in the village of Gortahork.
Following the incident, An Garda Síochána reminded all parents that “a tractor run does not mean that participants are exempt from the rules of the road”.
