NPA managing director Anna May McHugh said: “We are delighted to be partnering up with FBD again on this excellent safety concept as all can now rest assured that loved ones will be returned safely in case they wander away in the crowds that attend Ploughing."
With up to 300,000 visitors expected over the course of the three days, McHugh said that these wristbands give reassurance and peace of mind to all attending the event and add immensely to visitor experience.
FBD CEO Tomás O’Midheach said: “Everyone at FBD Insurance is delighted to return and support Ploughing this year.
"We are especially pleased to continue our support for the wristband child safety initiative. Over the years, this important initiative has proved incredibly useful in protecting children should they become separated from their parents or loved ones while attending the largest event in the Irish farming calendar.”
