Latest statics show that from 1993 to 2011, some 14 people here lost their lives in farm accidents while 30 more died in accidents on Irish farms last year, including 2 here.
In response to the rising number, and in an effort to help families who have been bereaved by these tragedies, the Embrace FARM group was established.
They have organised today's ecumenical service in Abbeyleix which starts at 2 and will be attended by Agriculture Minister Simon Coveney.
