Avian flu has been found in a flock of captive birds in north Dublin, according to the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine.
The outbreak confirmed at the weekend is the first to be detected in non-wild birds since December of last year.
It was discovered in a flock that is located close to a coastal area in Sutton where HPNI, avian influenza, had already been confirmed among seabirds.
The case is not in a poultry flock and has not led to extra restrictions being imposed on local poultry owners...
