The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) today reported that two ‘Closure Orders’ were served on food businesses during the month of September, one of which was in Clonmel, Co. Tipperary, for breaches of food safety legislation, pursuant to the European Union (Official Controls in Relation to Food Legislation) Regulations, 2020. The Closure Orders were issued by Environmental Health Officers in the Health Service Executive (HSE).
Two Closure Orders were served under the European Union (Official Controls in Relation to Food Legislation) Regulations, 2020 on:
(1) Xi’an Street Food (take away) (Closed activity: Part of the activities of its establishment be ceased, specifically the cooking of duck spring rolls), at No. 28 Anne Street South, Dublin 2
(2) Paul Tobin Butchers (Closed activities: the production and processing of all cooked and ready-to-eat food on the premises. This Closure Order does not affect the sale of raw meat), At No. 3 Abbey Road, Clonmel, Co. Tipperary
Some of the reasons for the Closure Orders in September include; repeat failure to cook duck spring rolls thoroughly; food safety management procedures were not implemented; significant build-up of food debris, spillages and engrained dirt on the floor in the cooked/ready-to eat foods preparation area; the layout and size of the premises did not permit adequate separation between raw and ready-to-eat food handling operations; no designated sink was provided for washing food such as the vegetables used in the preparation of ready-to-eat coleslaw.
Commenting, Dr Pamela Byrne, (Chief Executive, FSAI), said that the issues resulting in the two Closure Orders in September related to failures in basic food safety and hygiene requirements.
“Consumers have a right to safe food. Under food law, it is the legal responsibility of food businesses to ensure the safety of the food they sell to the consumer is safe to eat. All food businesses must establish and regularly review a food safety management system to prevent instances of non-compliance and violations of food safety regulations such as these, which are only imposed when a significant risk to consumer health has been identified or when there are persistent, severe violations of food regulations,” said Dr Byrne.
The HSE and Tipperary University Hospital have apologised to a five-year-old boy, and his mother Ms Agita Gintale, both from Cahir, Co Tipperary, for the upset and trauma they both experienced over the time of his birth, on November 8th/9th 2017 last.
The letter of apology was read out in the High Court, as Master Shay Crowe settled his action, taken through his mother, following a €300,000 interim payment granted for the next five years.
The boy’s counsel, Mr Patrick Treacy SC, instructed by Mr Cian O’Carroll solicitors, informed the court that certain admissions had been already admitted by the HSE regarding this case, including a breach of duty, which related to a 29-minute delay in the delivery of the baby by caesarean section. Same it was claimed resulted in baby Shay being delivered limp, lifeless and with no heart rate, thus requiring resuscitation. It was further confirmed that standard neonatal resuscitation programme guidelines were not strictly followed at the Tipperary hospital, despite a timely resuscitation having being achieved without adverse consequences.
In the letter of apology read to the court, the HSE and Tipperary University Hospital, Clonmel, Co. Tipperary, apologised to Shay and his mother for “the upset and trauma experienced during the care, treatment and management received by you both at Tipperary University Hospital, from presentation on November 8th, 2017, to include the episode of transfer to Cork University Maternity Hospital. Tipperary University Hospital and the HSE acknowledge that this was traumatic for both of you and his family.”
The case will again return to court in 2029, when general damages and Shay’s future care needs will be once more assessed.
Allergen: Milk
Product Identification: Flora Buttery.
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland [FSAI] have warned, this afternoon, that some packs of Flora Buttery may contain milk, same which has not been correctly declared on ‘Tesco‘ and ‘Supervalu‘ retailer websites.
The online platforms also contain declarations that the product is “Dairy-free”.
This may make the stated product unsafe for consumers, latter who may be allergic to or intolerant of milk.
The product packaging correctly highlights milk as an allergen (Buttermilk) in the list of its ingredients if it is present, and therefore consumers with an allergy to, or intolerance of milk, who have purchased this product online from Tesco or Supervalu, should check the ingredient declaration on the product packaging before attempting to consume this product.
There was a total of 45 drug driving offences detected in Co. Tipperary so far this year, despite fewer Garda checkpoints; the latter checkpoint reductions due to severe weather conditions; incidents such as traffic collisions; thefts and domestic disturbances.
Garda checkpoints are down some 27% from the 2,580 conducted over the same period last year.
Even more worrying we learn is the fact that the Irish Citizens’ Assembly on Drugs Use is expected to agree on recommendations to liberalise laws around possession of sales of common illegal drugs.
This is despite opposition to this same liberalisation from the Gardaí; the Chief Medical Officer and some medics; latter who claim that the liberalising of current drug laws will lead to more widespread drug use and will not help combat the stigma surrounding this issue.
The Irish Citizens’ Assembly (Irish: An Tionól Saoránach) is a convocation established in Ireland, back in 2016, to consider several political questions including the ‘Constitution of Ireland’; ‘abortion’; ‘fixed term parliaments’; ‘referendums’; ‘population ageing’ and ‘climate change’ with reports expected to be produced on the aforementioned topics.
Should the ‘Citizens’ Assembly on Drugs Use’ recommendations now be implemented, it is widely believed that the current existing major drugs problem will create an even more widespread drugs issue. Same would see individuals, families and communities being ravaged by addiction, previously never before experienced in this island, not to mention the serious crimes anticipated; same committed by those addicted; in order to fund their existing drug habit.
Same liberalisation it is believed will result in increased overall health problems, with lives destroyed, parent unable to take care of their children, and an overall decline in the way we live our daily lives, with the overburdened tax payer, once again, picking up the tab for required addiction drug treatment, medications, e.g. Methadone, Naltrexone (Vivitrol) etc, plus the necessary comfort, over-the-counter medications, suggested by GP’s, all readily available without a prescription and also commonly abused.
The Irish Citizens’ Assembly will not and must not be allowed to take the place of the majority of the law abiding, Irish voting public.
