Two Closure Orders Affect Food Outlets In Co. Tipperary.

Note Please: All Enforcement Reports can be found published at the link SHOWN HERE.

The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) today reported that ten Closure Orders and two Prohibition Orders were served on food businesses during the month of July for breaches of food safety legislation, pursuant to the FSAI Act, 1998 and the European Union (Official Controls in Relation to Food Legislation) Regulations, 2020. The Enforcement Orders were issued by Environmental Health Officers in the Health Service Executive (HSE).

In total four Closure Orders were served under the FSAI Act, 1998 on:
(1) Creed’s Foodstore, Burncourt, Cahir, Co. Tipperary.
(2) Lidl, Sallynoggin Road, Glenageary, Co. Dublin.
(3) Brandon Hotel (Closed areas: All kitchen areas including dry goods store, wash up areas, staff canteen, restaurant and stills area), Prince’s Street, Tralee, Co. Kerry
(4) Emerald Park (Closed area: The storage unit located to the rear of “coffee dock” in Emerald Park) Kilbrew Ashbourne, Co. Meath.

Six Closure Orders were served under the European Union (Official Controls in Relation to Food Legislation) Regulations, 2020 on:
(1) KRS Catering Stall (Closed activity: the service of all foods prepared off-site and transported to the venue. Closure does not apply to the sale/service of beverages and foods prepared on site) Powerstown Park Racecourse, Clonmel, Co. Tipperary.
(2) Londis Athboy (Closed areas: the deli/food preparation area and ice cream service area) Connaught Street, Athboy, Co. Meath.
(3) Tim Nessa, 2A John’s Street, Co. Limerick. (Note further hereunder).
(4) Hidden Dojo Asian Street food, 47A Phibsborough Road, Phibsborough, Dublin 7.
(5) Wakami Sushi & Asian, 47A Phibsborough Road, Phibsborough, Dublin 7.
(6) Costa Coffee, 1 Dawson Street, Dublin 2.

One Prohibition Order was served under the FSAI Act, 1998 on:
(1) Ballymaguire Foods Unlimited Company, Rathmooney, Lusk, Co. Dublin.

One Prohibition Order was served under the European Union (Official Controls in Relation to Food Legislation) Regulations, 2020 on:
(1) Timothy Onwuegbusi, 2A John’s Street, Limerick and Emeka Ikebudu, 2A John’s Street, Limerick.

The FSAI is aware that this food business, (Tim Nessa, 2A John’s Street, Limerick), continued to trade despite the service by the HSE on July 8th 2025 of a closure order pursuant to S.I. No. 79 of 2020. As a result, and in accordance with the applicable legislation, the FSAI applied to the High Court for various orders including that the continuance of the food business operator be prohibited and that the food business premises should immediately close until the food business is notified in writing that contraventions in the closure order have been remedied or further order of the High Court. An order of the High Court was granted on an ex-parte basis in those terms on 29 July 2025, with the matter back before the High Court on 27 August 2025, with the parties given liberty to apply to the High Court in the interim. FSAI and the HSE’s National Environmental Health Service will continue to monitor the food business to ensure it complies with the High Court’s order, the HSE’s closure order and the relevant food legislation.

Some of the reasons for the Enforcement Orders in July include: rat droppings found in a dishwasher room and food store and noted at a main customer entrance; inadequate means to wash hands preventing frequent handwashing in a kitchen; owners and staff not wearing clean protective clothing during food preparation; dead beetles observed in the bottom of a container of packaged food displayed for sale; various foods such as meat and poultry based curries and yoghurt and vegetable based condiments being kept at unsafe temperatures; rat droppings found in a storage unit which was used to store food and food contact materials such as reusable cups, lids and straws; numerous rodent droppings noted on high and low level shelving where food was stored; dead cockroaches in a main kitchen under worksurfaces where food is prepared and under cooking equipment where food is cooked; extensive food debris on the floor of the store room, on the shop floor and on the floor of a bakery.

Mr Greg Dempsey, Chief Executive, FSAI, said: “Recent foodborne incidents serve as a stark reminder of the need for food businesses to maintain the highest food safety standards. Consumers are entitled to expect that the food they purchase is safe, and food businesses have a clear legal and moral responsibility to ensure that it is. The Enforcement Orders issued this month reflect serious, preventable breaches of food safety law.
Every food business must take its responsibility to comply with food safety law seriously. The FSAI can provide support and advice to food businesses to help them meet their obligations. However, as demonstrated by the enforcement actions this month, where food businesses do not comply with their obligations, we will take action.”

Details of the food businesses served with Enforcement Orders are published on the FSAI’s website. Closure Orders and Improvement Orders will remain listed in the enforcement reports 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.
