The issue of farm safety has been discussed by a number of my colleagues with whom I agree with wholeheartedly. Some 24 lives have been lost so far this year on farms, which is far too many. I look forward to a discussion in the House on the issue of safety in order that we can do everything possible to ensure there are no more tragedies affecting farming families. I commend the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Deputy Simon Coveney, as at the national ploughing championships last week he introduced safety features and grants for farmers who wished to install or repair slats or manhole covers. The safety features he introduced will lower the risks facing farming families and are welcome. The grants will encourage people to carry out improvements on their farms.
