The Department of Agriculture is urging Irish farmers to be vigilant and monitor their poultry for signs of bird flu.
It comes as Northern Irish authorities are investigating a suspected case of the disease in a flock in County Fermanagh.
The Department is asking all owners to implement strict biosecurity on their premises as we are currently in the high-risk period.
It says it is critically important to ensure that wild birds do not have access to feeding areas and feed stores at this time.
