Two Dublin Food Businesses Were Issued With Closure Orders Last Month

The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) issued five closure orders to food businesses around Ireland last month and two of those were in Dublin.

The businesses which received the notices were Polonez on Moore Street and Pacino's on Suffolk Street.

The closure orders were issued under the FSAI Act, 1998 and the EC (Official Control of Foodstuffs) Regulations, 2010, where it's deemed that there is or there's likely to be a grave and immediate danger to public health from the premises, or where an improvement order is not complied with.

Due to the nature of these violations, they can be fixed without a short time – such as Pacino's having to replace their doors for health and safety purposes – so Polonez was closed for just one day and Pacino's was closed for three in January.
