Joe Sheehy: Nothing more important than health and safety

Last year was one of the worst years ever for farm accidents, with over 30 deaths and thousands of serious accidents.

On average, since 2010, there are about 20 fatalities every year. So far this year, there are 13 fatalities, and thousands of serious injuries.

At the start of the summer, the Health and Safety Authority appealed to schools to make children aware of the dangers on farms.
