They are in the most dangerous workplace in the country.
This Christmas, farmers are being asked to take stock and do a risk assessment on what is, the most dangerous workplace in the country.
To date this year, there have been fifteen confirmed fatal incidents on farms, down from 22 the year previous.
Behind each number, Minister of Sate at the Department of Agriculture Martin Heydon says, is a bereaved family and community.
The Kildare South Fine Gael TD wants farmers to use their specialist knowledge to protect themselves:
