As the Deputy may be aware, in order to highlight the importance of farm safety, the Government assigned my colleague Minister-of-State Martin Heydon TD specific responsibility for Farm Safety.

The Department has a range of measures in place to incentivise and promote farm safety. The proposals for the dedicated farm safety budget of €2 million for 2022 are in the process of being finalised and will be announced in due course.
