The Food Safety Authority of Ireland issued six enforcement orders on food businesses last month for breaches in food safety legislation.
Five closure orders were served: on Willow Tree Chinese Takeaway, Main Street, Moville, Co Donegal; Oscar Taylor Restaurant, Island View Hotel, Coast Road, Malahide, Co Dublin; Macaris Take Away on Main Street, Bray, Co Wicklow; Bombay Spice on the South Circular Road in Dublin and the Arklow Kebab House on the Lower Main Street in Arklow, Co Wicklow.
A Prohibition Order was served on M and B Catering, Clonshaugh Industrial Estate, Dublin 17.
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland said it is disappointing that the number of enforcement orders last month doubled since July.
