However, it has now been clarified that the boy is a teenager who’s receiving treatment at Temple Street Children’s Hospital in Dublin.
A helicopter was called in by paramedics after the incident but he was eventually taken in a conventional road ambulance.
His injuries are believed to be serious but not life-threatening.
Gardai and the Health and Safety Authority are both investigating the incident.
