Vigilance urged in bid to curb farm fatalities

Rural people are being urged to be extra vigilant on roads and farms during the busy summer period.

Minister Simon Coveney issued the appeal at the launch of a series of children’s books written by Alma Jordan, a farmer’s wife from Co Meath.

She is founder of AgriKids, an initiative designed to promote the positives of rural life, while educating children on the hazards that exist in farmyards and the countryside.
