09/03/2010 - Two restaurant owners challenged
Health inspectors have taken the owners of two restaurants to task over food safety fears.
Loughbawn Hotel in Killeshandra, Co Cavan and the Golden Beijing Restaurant, in Ballincurra, Co Cork, were rapped by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI).
Bosses at the Loughbawn were ordered to close down a partially covered-in alleyway running from the kitchen to the street.
In a separate order, food business Cavan Wholesale, on the Dublin Road, Cavan was told to improve its operations or face further action.
Prof Alan Reilly, FSAI chief executive, urged food businesses to continuously review safety policies.
"The FSAI provides an advice line where our team of experts can help a food business with any queries they may have regarding food safety practices," he said.
"It is of the utmost importance that food businesses are educated on the fundamentals of food safety skills in preventing bacterial food contamination."
Two prosecutions were also successfully carried out by health chiefs over food safety issues in Mr Dees Chinese Restaurant in Glanmire, Cork and Militti Take Away, on Fassaugh Avenue, Cabra, north Dublin.
