There is just three weeks left for farmers to apply for grant aid on PTO (power take off) shaft covers under the 2025 National Farm Safety Measure, with the closing date fast approaching on Friday 7 November. The measure, which is funded by the National exchequer, offers grant aid of 60% of the eligible cost up to a maximum of €100 per PTO shaft cover ex VAT on up to four covers.
Application process
Participants (or their adviser) must complete an expression of interest via the agfood.ie facility before purchasing a PTO by selecting the “AgSchemes-Expression of Interest” and then “National Farm Safety Measure 2025” from the dropdown list.

The Department explains: “Once your National Farm Safety Measure 2025 expression of interest is submitted online, the status immediately updates to ‘submitted’, which means you are accepted in to the measure.’’
PTO shaft covers must meet the requirements of the European standards EN 12965:2019 and must possess a clearly visible CE mark, with all invoices and receipts showing this compliance.
