Demand for health check roll-out
IFA Farm Family and Social Affairs Chair Teresa Roche, Minister Michael Healy-Rae, IFA Deputy President Alice Doyle and Madeline Rabbitt from CROÍ at the launch of the Health Check report at Cillin Hill mart in Kilkenny today.
Calls have been made for a pilot health check initiative for farmers which took place in autumn 2024 to be rolled out nationwide.
Funded by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM), under the Farm Safety, Health, and Wellbeing Projects scheme, the Health Check Initiative was launched to address significant health and wellbeing challenges faced by the farming community.
