A Limerick restaurant was one of two locations that was ordered closed last month, the Irish Food Safety Authority has confirmed.
A lockdown order was delivered at Boojum on Patrick Street in downtown on September 8 after HSE environmental health officers visited the facility.
The order, which has been published by the FSAI, states that the HSE had concerns that “there would probably be a serious and immediate danger to public health” at the facility.
The specific reason indicated in the order referred to the restaurant’s bathrooms and an “accumulation of sewage and sewage in the basement accompanied by a strong bad smell.”
According to the FSAI, the closure order was lifted on September 11, after HSE concerns were addressed.
Without commenting on the specific case, Dr. Pamela Byrne, FSAI CEO, said: “Failures in sewer systems should also sound the alarm bells for food companies. It is simply unacceptable for a food business to continue operating when its sewer / wastewater systems are in trouble. Food business owners are responsible for ensuring best practices regarding food handling and storage in their business. Not doing this puts your customers at risk. It is also important to comply with the rules on food labeling, which ensure that customers are fully informed about the food they buy.
The only other food business that was the subject of a closure order in September was New World takeaway at Glenmore Park, Muirhevnamore, Dundalk, Louth
In that case, the order was for a food storage room in the backyard.
