Ms Alice Doyle:

We will take a different issue each. On the first one, which I think Senator Brady mentioned, about partnership with other bodies, we partner with many other bodies all the time to try to get the work done. We have partnered with See Change on the green ribbon for years. We did it for 12 consecutive years. We did walks every year in the months of July, August and September, which we called the green ribbon walks. We have promoted that for a long time. We have people who sit on the RSA, so we work around the farm safety and how that links in with mental health and well-being. I think the committee spoke to some of the members earlier today. We deal with the HSE from time to time, when we make referrals and so on. We deal with Teagasc on an ongoing basis, with Professor McNamara and Dr. Meredith. We have dealt with Professor McNamara on numerous occasions.

From an interesting point of view, the green ribbon was mentioned and tractor drives. Wexford, three weeks ago, had a green ribbon tractor drive across Mount Leinster, rising at dawn. It was similar to the walk into light. We drove into light, leaving Ballindaggin, driving across Mount Leinster and back to Ballindaggin. Every tractor had a green ribbon on it, and there was a social event afterwards. We have started the trend within IFA of having a tractor drive with green ribbons. I assure members we are in the space already.

Ms Roche will deal with Senator Collins’s question about quads and quad training. She has been involved somewhat around that. She might like to take a number of other issues that have come up.
