In total seven ‘Enforcement Orders’ were served on Irish food businesses in February 2025
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) today reported that seven Enforcement Orders were served on food businesses during the month of February 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) and sea-fisheries protection officers in the Sea-Fisheries Protection Authority.
Four Closure Orders were served under the European Union (Official Controls in Relation to Food Legislation) Regulations, 2020 on: Bombay Kebab House(Take Away), 3 Bridge Street, Carrick-on-Suir, Tipperary. (For Enforcement Report View Here. Day to Day, Hayestown (Retailer), Boyne Road, Hayestown, Navan, Meath. Tank & Skinny’s, @Number 6(Restaurant/ Café), Courtyard Shopping Centre, Letterkenny, Donegal. Lams(Take Away), 286 Ballyfermot Road, Ballyfermot, Dublin 10.
Two Closure Orders were served under the FSAI Act, 1998 on: Universal Food Wholesale Distribution Limited(Wholesaler/ Distributor), Unit B3 National Enterprise Park, Togher, Portlaoise, Laois. Far East (Restaurant/ Café), 339 Ballyfermot Road, Ballyfermot, Dublin 10
One Prohibition Order was served under the FSAI Act 1998 on: Burren Smokehouse(Fish & Fishery Products Plants – ready to eat fish plants), Kincora Road, Lisdoonvarna, Clare.
Among the reasons for the Enforcement Orders in February were: rodent activity; six mouse carcasses on a warehouse floor; rodent droppings on a shelving unit in service counter area; complete lack of cleaning; significant dirt and grease accumulation on food contact surfaces and equipment; no hot water available for washing surfaces and food equipment; absence of a food safety management system; raw chicken stored in previously used chip boxes; crates and boxes containing out-of-date food in storage area; high-risk ready-to-eat foods and other cooked items stored at unsafe temperatures.
Mr Greg Dempsey, Chief Executive, FSAI, stated that vigilance is always required in relation to food safety and that standards must be maintained to ensure that consumer health is not put at risk. “February’s Enforcement Orders serve as an important reminder that food safety must always be a top priority for all food businesses. Regular checks and adherence to food safety and hygiene standards are essential to protect consumers’ health and maintain public trust. There are no excuses for failing to comply with legal requirements, and any lapse in food safety practices puts consumers at direct risk. Implementing a food safety management system is straightforward, especially with the supports available from the FSAI, yet some businesses continue to neglect this crucial legal requirement. Consumers have a right to safe food and it is imperative that all food businesses uphold the highest standards of food safety and hygiene at all times.”
Separately, during the month of February one prosecution was taken by the Health Service Executive in relation to: Dunnes Stores Unlimited Company(Retailer), Trimgate Street, Navan, Meath.

Commenting, Ms Lynda Connor(South-Eastern regional director at IFI) said: “The Clover River was found to be in a poor condition, with polluting material discharging into this river from a drain full of slurry”. Ms Connor added “Ensuring clean and healthy water is not just a responsibility, but a necessity for the survival of fish and the ecosystems they thrive in. This successful prosecution is part of Inland Fisheries Ireland’s very determined efforts to protect the State’s rivers, streams, and lakes.”
The court heard the evidence for the defence did not match up with photographs which showed deep slurry in the water, not just a spillage, and the issue had been ongoing for a considerable time before action was taken.
It was noted that the pollution constituted a very serious breach on the part of The Tipperary Cheese Company Ltd.
Evidence was given by IFI Fisheries Environmental Officer Mr Oliver McGrath who outlined the facts to the court. The incident took place in December 2023 and was heard at Thurles District Court on February 18th 2025.
IFI urge people to report water pollution, illegal fishing activity, habitat destruction, fish kills or issues of concern in their local rivers/lakes; to its confidential 24/7 number, 0818 34 74 24.
