The Irish Cattle and Sheep Farmers’ Association is urging motorists to be extra careful on the roads as farming activity goes up a gear as a result of the good weather.

ICSA’s Connaught/Ulster vice president and spokesperson on health and safety issues, John Flynn, said, “With the fine weather comes an upsurge in farming activity, particularly work involving tractors and other heavy machinery. I would urge those involved in farm work and all other road users to put safety first at all times and to be extremely vigilant.”
