To begin with, the good news is that the overall number of food business that were issued closure notices for 2015 represents a 6% drop when compared to 2014.
90 closure orders and 16 prohibition orders were issued last year – 113 were issued in 2014- but as always, the Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) were still busy in December.
