Minister of State Martin Heydon announced the reopening of the National Farm Safety Measure, with PTO shaft covers eligible at 60% grant aid, to a maximum eligible cost of €100/cover.
Funded by the national exchequer, the measure will be open until 1 November on agfood.ie.
Between the years of 2013 – 2014 there was a total of 13 deaths on Irish farms involving machinery.
