Heather Humphreys (Cavan-Monaghan, Fine Gael)

Has the Minister looked at how other countries have addressed this? As somebody who lives on a farm, I am fully aware that the farm work continues throughout the festive season. Unlike the rest of us farmers do not get a day off. They are often rushing and may take shortcuts to finish their work early to join the festivities with their families. I would like to impress upon them the need to be vigilant and aware of the very real and daily dangers in their workplaces.
