Tirlán has made a €5,000 donation to support the charity Embrace FARM.
The co-operative has urged farmers to prioritise farm safety every day making the donation during on Farm Safety Week 2025.
Founded by Tirlán suppliers Brian and Norma Rohan, Embrace FARM has grown into a vital support system for families navigating the aftermath of farm tragedies.
With the average cost of support per family totalling €2,165, Tirlán has reiterated that consistent funding is critical especially in agriculture, which remains Ireland’s most dangerous workplace sector.
This year’s funding will help Embrace FARM expand its expert-led services and reach even more families in need.
John Murphy, Tirlán chairperson, said: “On Farm Safety Week, we’re urging our suppliers to look at their farm with fresh eyes and ensure their workplace environment is as safe as possible every single day of the year to protect them and their families.
In addition, Lisa Tierney communications support coordinator at Embrace FARM added: “Each family’s journey is as unique as the loss they’ve faced.
“The continued support from Tirlán helps us walk beside them in that journey, on their terms and in their time. It’s more than financial support; it’s a partnership built on compassion and shared values.”
