Farm safety takes centre stage

Macra members from across the country headed to Dundalk last weekend for the Louth Macra Young Farmers’ Development Group’s farm safety information evening.

Pat Griffin of the Health and Safety Authority give a detailed report on the many problems faced on Irish farms on a daily basis.

Three local men, John Mc Donnell, Tom Hoey, and Kevin Mc Enteggart, spoke of how farm accidents had, or almost had, changed their lives forever.
