Enhanced bio-security measures announced as 60 avian flu cases reported

The Department of Agriculture urged all poultry flock owners to remain vigilant for any signs of disease in their flocks

Currently, there are no recorded outbreaks of avian flu among poultry flocks.

Enhanced biosecurity measures for poultry and other captive birds as a precaution against avian flu have been announced on Friday by the Department of Agriculture.

The new protective measures come as over 60 cases of avian flu have been recorded in Ireland so far this year.
