We were thrilled to welcome a fantastic line up of speakers to UCD School of Agriculture and Food Science for the “Champions For Safety” event as part of the 2nd years Health, Welfare and Safety module.

Presenting to the students was Ciaran Roche from FBD Insurance, Martina Gormley from the Health and Safety Authority and Ronan Kilgallon from ESB Networks

Also there to talk to the students was UCD Smurfit alum and two time Paralympian Kerrie Leonard

Kerrie told a truly inspiring “survivors story” based on a life changing farm accident involving a tractor in 1997 when she was just 6 years old.

A farm safety advocate, Kerrie spoke honestly and openly about mental health and struggling to cope at times following her injury.
She spoke about the importance of sport and being part of a team and a club which was what drove her on to be a paralympian at the Tokyo and Paris Olympics.
Anyone who was lucky enough to be there would agree it was a fantastic event.
