The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) reported they handed five closure orders to Dublin food businesses in February alone.
Businesses include two Capel Street venues - the retailer Super Asia Food, and the restaurant/cafe White Rabbit. Talbot Street's takeaway Il Capo, the Dublin 8 takeaway East Oriental Take Out, as well as the food service area/deli of Top Oil Gala in Finglas were also served closure orders.
Il Capo on Talbot Street was issued the closure order after the HSE officer found a dead mouse in a trap underneath shelving used to store food and food contact equipment. The officer also spotted rodent droppings throughout the premises where food was being prepared and stored. The officer also found that there weren't any adequate procedures to prevent pests from entering the venue.
