Is Ireland ready for Bird Flu?

It's here! Well it's in Scotland so it’s very close. I imagine it won’t be long now till it’s found in Ireland. I’ve heard lots here about the preparations made for bird flu here in England in terms of stockpiling drugs. How is the preparation going in Ireland is what I’d like to know.
I watched a program recently on channel 4 about the ‘Spanish Flu’ in 1918 that stated that flu was actually a bird flu too, and that was how it spread so rapidly, killing over 20 million people.
Resent studies have shown that ‘Spanish Flu’ was in fact a type of bird flu that mutated so that it could be transferred from human to human. Scientist are using this information to try to prepare for when H5N1 mutates and is able to be transferred from Human to Human. However, the 1918 and H5 flu’s hemagglutinins are different so apart from understanding what in principle is going to happen it is almost impossible to predict in what way the H5 virus will mutate and little can be done other than plans to contain any outbreak after a mutation occurs.
As long as the area where the mutation occurs is secured and this mutated version isn’t allowed to spread then the virus should remain contained. This could happen anywhere though, and if it is not contained immediately then the virus could spread rapidly.
Anyway…back to my main point. What is being done in Ireland to prepare for what might happen?
