Abstract

These Regulations concern concerning certain protection measures in relation to highly pathogenic avian influenza of subtype H5N1 in wild birds. They provide, among other things, that if avian influenza of subtype H5 is present in a wild bird or wild bird carcase and that the Department Agriculture and Rural Development suspects or confirms that the neuraminidase type is N1, it must, subject to a derogation, declare a wild bird control area and a wild bird monitoring area. The Department may in its declaration of a wild bird control area or a wild bird monitoring area, impose additional measures to those set out in the Schedules. The Regulations also provide for the feeding and tending of animals or poultry which cannot be moved on termination of a right of occupation because of a restriction imposed by the Regulations.
