In April, the Food Safety Authority of Ireland issued 10 enforcement orders to food businesses, reflecting significant breaches in food safety legislation. This included closure orders where immediate risks to public health were identified. Instances of severe hygiene failures were reported, such as fecal matter found on sanitary facility walls. Notable establishments, including the Indian restaurant Namaste and The City Arms Gastro Bar, faced enforced shutdowns for unsafe food handling practices and improper sanitation, underscoring the urgency of rigorous health standards in the food industry.
A report into its closure found evidence of 'serious inappropriate' personal hygiene practices being carried out on the premises.
