Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine Martin Heydon said he hopes to lift bird flu-related restrictions “in coming weeks”.
Ireland is now free from highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), or bird flu, according to Minister Heydon.
Hong Kong's food safety authority said that imports of poultry products from areas across a number of European countries have been suspended.
Due to the high risk posed by bird flu to poultry flocks, a compulsory housing order is to be introduced for poultry and captive birds.
