Emma highlights farm safety for Ploughing

Emma on 'Nationwide' last night.

Former CPC student and member of Kilcullen Scouts Emma Birchall is the voice and face of safety on the farm during this week's National Ploughing Championships, writes Brian Byrne.

She was featured on last night's 'Nationwide' programme on RTE1, talking to reporter Mary Fanning about her chosen theme as the Macra 'Queen of the Land', the competition she won last November.

She said she became particularly interested in the area when she visited emergency rooms as part of her medical studies in UCC. Along with a team of fell Macra members, she has been organising farm safety demonstrations at various venues.
