The disease poses a huge risk to the local poultry sector which is worth around £0.5bn a year to the Northern Ireland economy.

There has not been an outbreak in a commercial setting in Northern Ireland since December 2021.

Although restrictions were eased in April 2023, strict biosecurity protocols have remained in place.

In December 2024, the highly contagious virus was detected in a dead wild buzzard found in County Galway.

It was the first confirmed discovery on the island of Ireland since September 2023.
