More than 40 cases of H5N1 have been reported in 2025.
The Irish Farmers Association says the Department of Agriculture should introduce a housing order to stop the spread of bird flu.
Over 40 cases of H5N1 have been reported in 2025, the latest being a commercial turkey flock in Carlow over the weekend.
A housing order requires all poultry and captive birds to be kept in a secure, enclosed space to prevent mixing with wild birds.
The UK and the North are set to introduce its own restrictions tomorrow and the IFA says we should follow suit.
