As nationwide efforts continue to restore power to homes, farms and businesses in the aftermath of Storm Darragh farmers have been urged to be aware of the dangers of damaged power lines and fallen live wires.

In this episode of the AgriFocus podcast, Michael Murray, public safety manager at ESB Networks, joins Francess McDonnell to highlight why farmers and agri-contractors should “not take chances” when it comes to storm damaged power lines and other electrical equipment.

The fortnightly AgriFocus podcast series takes a closer look at some of the key issues that directly impact on farmers, rural communities and the agri-sector.
