Over 15,000 people have become trapped in a maze in Co Laois - all in the name of farm safety.

They have been educated on some of the biggest dangers on Irish farms and reminded to farm safely.

The maze is one of the main attractions on the last day of the National Ploughing Championships.

It is being run by Agri-aware, which says 21 people have died on farm accidents so far this year - the same number as in the whole of 2013.

Its director Vanessa Woods says older farmers need to make sure they do not get into bad habits.
