A Longford teenager is lending her support to farm safety week to warn people about the dangers of gas from slurry agitating.
Ella Casey from Ballymahon was working on a local farm in August of 2021 when she had a very close call with the gas and was transferred to hospital by air ambulance.
Ella, who was brought up on a farm herself says she was aware of the dangers of the gas and had waited the recommended time before going back into a building after the agitating had stopped.
She still got caught however when she ducked her head to enter a part of the building and breathed in some of the highly toxic fumes.
Ella became unconscious almost immediately but had managed to make a phone call to her co-worker who was nearby.
He went looking for her after she didn't answer him when he replied, and he found her on the floor of the shed.
Ella and her dad Luke spoke to Anne Norris on the Let's Talk show today.
