The Air Ambulance service has stated that it was called to two farm accidents over the weekend, one on Saturday 16 November and one on Sunday 17 November.
Details of the accidents have still to emerge but the ambulance service reminded farmers to take care when they’re on farm.
"For the second time this weekend, the crew of #AirCorps112 were tasked to an agricultural accident, this time as a result of livestock.
"Our Leonardo #AW139 allowed our team to be on scene within nine minutes of takeoff and convey our patient to definitive care in 11 minutes," it said.
It pointed out that 53% of farm accidents last year involved machinery and farm vehicles while 29% were caused as a result of working directly with livestock.
The Health and Safety Authority has been contacted for more details of the accident.
