ICSA Munster vice-president John Halley has highlighted the importance of providing adequate resources to support drystock farmers in implementing farm safety measures.

“The Minister recently identified farm safety as one of his main priorities, and has suggested a a support scheme for farmers. While this would be welcome, any moves such as this must be targeted towards the drystock sector where the dramatic fall in the price of beef this year has left many farmers struggling to maintain the viability of their operations.”
