James Taylor meets students from around the country who have been competing to win the Safe Family Farms competition, run by ESB Networks and The Irish Farmers Journal.
This week, we caught up with the finalists – Scoil Chriost Rí in Laois, St. Michael’s College in Kerry and Scoil Mhuire in Roscommon.
Over the next three weeks, we will visit each school and explain their ideas for making family farms safer places for us all. Each of the finalists will showcase their innovative ideas in a workshop in their school.
