Farm Safety Week is underway, aiming to encourage farmers and farming families to make safety their number one priority.  

The campaign comes as concerns remain about the number of serious accidents and fatalities on Irish farms each year.  

Joining Alan Morrissey earlier to discuss were Caroline Lynch, Clare Representative on the IFA Farm Family & Social Affairs Committee, and Eddie Punch, Former ICSA General Secretary and Cratloe farmer.

If you need support or help following a sudden death or injury on the farm, you can contact Embrace FARM for support on 085-770-9966.
