Seanad Public Consultation Committee

Farm Safety: Discussion

2:00 pm

Mr. Bill Callanan:

I will answer Senator Coghlan's questions on young people operating machinery. A young person can drive an agricultural vehicle on the road from the age of 16. FRS Network runs a course for young farmers on being prepared for the management of machinery. I understand it is supported financially by FBD, and the HSA might refer to this during its session.

On the question of innovation and the country-wide programme, I will allow my colleague to answer on whether it is covered.
