The Department of Foreign Affairs has said the risk of Irish people contracting bird flu while visiting countries affected by the virus is believed to be low.
However, the department has issued advice from the World Health Organisation about the precautions that should be taken if travelling to affected areas.
The WHO is advising travellers to avoid visiting live animal markets, poultry farms and other places where they might come into contact with wild, domestic or caged birds.
Travellers are also being told to avoid contact with surfaces contaminated with animal faeces or fluids, not to eat or handle undercooked or raw poultry, egg or duck dishes, and to wash their hands regularly.
The department has also warned people not to attempt to bring any live poultry products back to Ireland.
The Chief Executive of the Irish Tour Operators Federation, Flan Clune, said the recent outbreak of bird flu in Turkey has had no impact on the number of holidays being booked there.
Mr Clune also said that no people have cancelled holidays to Turkey.
He said the outbreak has been in the east of the country while most holiday resorts are located in the west.
However, Mr Clune said that his members would continue to monitor the situation in the country.
A number of other travel agents have said that the outbreak of bird flu has had no significant impact on their bookings to Turkey and that they have experienced no cancellations or a drop-off in reservations.
