Irish authorities have culled approximately 162,000 chickens at Diern farm following an outbreak of avian influenza, as part of strict measures to control the spread of the virus among nearby poultry farms.

The infected farm is surrounded by three poultry farms within a 1 km radius and seven more within 3 km, all under close observation in the coming days. A transportation ban has been imposed within a 10 km radius, covering 46 farms, following recent outbreaks in nearby areas.

National precautions require all poultry to be housed indoors, with precise recording of all birds and eggs moving in and out of restricted zones. These measures aim to contain the highly pathogenic H5N1 strain.

Experts warn that repeated outbreaks demand continuous monitoring and strict preventive actions to protect the poultry industry and prevent potential public health risks.
