Poultry flock owners have been given five days to house their birds.
Poultry flock owners have been ordered to house all birds from November 7th.
The Department of Agriculture says the measure is being introduced as a precautionary measure due to a rising number of bird flu cases.
Meanwhile, the IFA's issued a 'red alert' to poultry producers after a case of avian flu in Cavan last week.
The disease has caused havoc across Europe, with culls of poultry ordered in a number of countries, including in the UK.
It's raised concerns about the supply of turkeys this Christmas, as the majority of them come from the Cavan/Monaghan region, where the swan was found.
President of the IFA, Toomevara's Tim Cullinan says the industry are well placed to enact the precautions that are now required:
