Some of Ireland’s supermarkets have dismissed concerns of a turkey shortage this Christmas, despite the outbreak of avian influenza at a turkey farm in Co Monaghan.
Lidl told the Irish Farmers Journal that it does not foresee any issues around the supply of turkeys this Christmas and expects to have full supply of its 100% Irish Bord Bia Quality Assured fresh turkeys.
An Aldi spokesperson said it has “good availability across” its fresh Irish turkey range.
