Congratulations to our neighbours in Mayo on a fantastic and historic All-Ireland victory. Well deserved!

On behalf of Roscommon Ploughing Association, we'd also like to acknowledge the many Mayo ploughing competitors who have supported our County Ploughing Championships over the years. We greatly appreciate the loyal support from our neighbouring counties, and Mayo competitors have never been found wanting. Their participation helps make our championships the great family day and celebration of ploughing that it is.

Congratulations once again to Mayo – enjoy every minute of the celebrations. 🟢🔴

This case is a timely reminder that health and safety is everyone's responsibility. Whether on the farm, in the workplace or at organised events, taking the time to assess risks, ensure proper training and use safe equipment can make all the difference.

As we share this article, it's worth remembering that health and safety legislation exists to protect everyone. Good planning, appropriate training and compliance with the relevant requirements help safeguard volunteers, members, competitors, spectators and the wider farming community.

Farm safety isn't just something to think about for one week of the year—it's something we should all keep at the forefront every day. Stay safe.🚜⚽️🪂

The Co. Kerry headquartered company, which manufactures dairy equipment, had previously pleaded guilty to six charges in breach of safety, health and welfare at work legislation before Limerick Circuit Criminal Court.
