The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) today reported that three Closure Orders were served on food businesses during the month of July for breaches in food safety legislation, pursuant to the FSAI Act, 1998 and the EC (Official Control of Foodstuffs) Regulations, 2010.  The Enforcement Orders were issued by environmental health officers (EHOs) in the HSE West Region; the HSE Dublin North East Region and the HSE South Region.    

Closure Orders were served on:

• Jim Cashmans Bar (Kitchen and food rooms only), 26 Academy Street, Cork
• Hot Dog Stall, Churchhill, Clones, Monaghan
• Shakey Jay's, No 2 Upper Market Street, Ennis, Clare 

Successful prosecutions were also carried out by the HSE South Region on Man Friday Restaurant, Scilly, Kinsale, Cork and the HSE West Region on Bulgaden Castle, Bulgaden, Kilmallock, Limerick 

Commenting on these latest Enforcement Orders, Prof Alan Reilly, Chief Executive, FSAI, stated that it was encouraging to see the number of enforcement orders for July less than half that of the number served in June.

“We are pleased to be reporting a significant drop in the number of Enforcement Orders served on businesses during July. Our number one priority is the protection of consumer health and we would stress to all businesses the importance of maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness at all times especially during the summer months.  Food bugs can multiply rapidly in warmer temperatures so basic hygiene standards must be met and adhered to by all operating food businesses. Our advice line 1890 336677 and our Facebook page are additional resources, so there is no excuse for food businesses to be unaware of their legal responsibilities to protect consumer health in relation to food safety.”

Details of the food businesses served with these Enforcement Orders are published on the FSAI’s website .  Closure Orders and Improvement Orders will remain listed on the website for a period of three months from the date of when a premises is adjudged to have corrected its food safety issue, with Prohibition Orders being listed for a period of one month.
