Safety on farms urged this summer

"We must double down our efforts this year in terms of promotion of farm safety."

"People are under pressure and working long hours and fatigue comes in."

Members of the agricultural community are urged to be aware of the dangers that surround them this summer.

Fianna Fáil senator Paul Daly has said that everyone must be “cognisant of the fact that there’s pressure on” and to make an even more conscious effort to put farm safety to the fore of all the work they carry out, whether it involves machinery or animals.
