ICSA Submission On Farm Safety

Aug 10, 2015 | Policy Submission, Policy Submissions | 0 comments

In January 2015, ICSA made its submission to the Seanad Public Consultation Committee, which announced in late 2014 that it was carrying out a public consultation on Farm Safety.

The Committee will review the written submissions and may decide to invite some contributors to address a public session of the Committee. When this process is complete, the Committee intends to publish a report.

ICSA’s proposals include:

  1. Education of children at primary level
  2. Consideration of financial issues
  3. Utilisation of discussion groups
  4. Ongoing education and awareness through farm organisations and Teagasc
  5. Minimising stress and prioritising mental health issues

CONVENING OF NFFSC MUST KICKSTART EMERGENCY RESPONSE TO WEATHER RELATED DIFFICULTIES FACING FARMERS

ICSA president Sean McNamara has said the convening of the National Fodder and Food Security Committee (NFFSC) tomorrow must kick start an emergency response to the ongoing difficulties facing farmers amidst continuing heavy rainfall. “With any hope of an early spring well and truly dashed and any fodder reserves dwindling fast it is clear this committee needs to rapidly reassess the current situation on the ground, including the extent of the fodder shortages and the impact of continued wet weather on farming operations,” he said.
