Harvest season warning from ESB

The Electricity Supply Board is issuing a major warning to farmers.

Owners of tractors and combine harvesters are being urged to take extra caution when working in the vicinity of overhead power lines.

The current harvest season will see taller farm vehicles at work over the next five weeks.

Kevin McDermott, of the ESB says this time of the year can be fatal for farmers, and seasonal workers, who don't take the necessary precautions.
