To highlight the importance of farm safety, the Government assigned my ministerial colleague, Martin Heydon, TD the specific responsibility for Farm Safety in his portfolio.

The Department currently has in place a range of measures to promote farm safety. The proposals for the dedicated farm safety budget of €2 million are in the process of being finalised and will be announced in due course.
