Farm Safety
5:00 pm
Nicky McFadden (Longford-Westmeath, Fine Gael)
I commend the Minister and the HSA for the initiatives taken. Some 1,500 deaths have occurred, all of which could have been avoided. Some 54% were caused by livestock, in particular bulls. The use of machinery and tree felling are also a source of serious concern. While I commend the Minister for the initiatives he has taken, I wonder about the undertaking of an awareness campaign in the media, including on television.
