Farm safety should be taken seriously

Six years ago, Peter Gohery almost became a number on the list of farm fatalities.

During the recent Seanad Public Consultation Committee Debate on farm safety, Peter spoke about his accident, and why he got involved with Embrace FARM, founded by Brian Rohan and his wife Norma in 2014, following the death of Brian’s father, Liam, as result of an accident on the family farm in Co Laois.

“I was very involved in construction, worked at home on the farm, and would have known a lot about safety,” Peter said.
