Thousands of birds will be culled after the flu was discovered in County Monaghan.

The Agriculture Minister says pre-cautionary measures introduced to stop the spread of bird flu minimises the risk, but doesn't make it go away.

Despite this Charlie McConalogue says he's confident the supply of turkey and chicken this Christmas won't be majorly affected.

3 thousand 800 turkeys in Monaghan are set to be culled after avian flu was detected in a flock there. Minister McConalogue says this is serious, but it's still contained to the one flock.
