The Agriculture Minister says turkey will thankfully still be on the menu for families this Christmas.
There had been fears that supply would be impacted after two outbreaks of avian flu were confirmed in flocks last month.
However, the Department of Agriculture says no new cases have been reported since, and it's 3km protection zone in County Monaghan has been lifted.
Minister Charlie McConalogue says people should expect a 'top quality turkey' on plates this Christmas:
"Thankfully, I can report that there will be turkey for Christmas, thanks to the many farmers for the farmers you have across this country, and the massive effort they've made over the course of the last number of months and particularly the last number of weeks, weeks, in terms of taking biosecurity measures to keep flock safe. It was a big objective of theirs to ensure that they can provide the service that they provide every year, and ensuring that there will be a top quality Turkey on family dinners, plates, right across the country."
