RTÉ crèche kitchen among closures over food safety issues

COUNTY DUBLIN, IRELAND, JUL 9 – The Food Safety Authority of Ireland closed multiple food premises due to pest infestations and unsafe conditions, citing a significant rodent presence as a grave threat to health.

  • Last month, inspectors ordered the closure of the kitchen and staff canteen at the Wee Care crèche located on RTÉ's Donnybrook campus due to serious food safety concerns involving rodent infestations.
  • The closures were prompted by inspections that uncovered numerous rodent droppings and insufficient pest control measures, creating an urgent and serious risk to food safety.
  • Additional closure orders were served to premises including All Bar Chicken in Coolock on June 10, Il Vicolo restaurant in Galway, Doolin Ice Cream’s food store in Clare, and Tunisian Halal Butcher in Dublin for poor hygiene and pest issues.
  • FSAI Chief Executive Greg Dempsey emphasized, "Food safety isn't optional, it's essential," warning that failures like pest activity and poor hygiene are basic errors with severe public health consequences.
  • These enforcement actions reflect FSAI's commitment to taking strict measures against non-compliance to protect public health and ensure food businesses maintain hygiene standards at all times.
