LAST YEAR THE Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) gave out enforcement orders to 113 food businesses across the country for breaches in food safety legislation.
While that’s a 21% drop on figures for 2013- it’s still the second highest number ever served.
The FSAI enforcement officers served 96 Closure Orders, 16 Prohibition Orders and one Improvement Order.
Among the businesses that received closure orders were:
Here’s a quick look at some of the closure orders that were served:

Prohibition orders were served to 16 businesses including:
A full list of all orders served can be found here.
Chief Executive of the FSAI Alan Reilly said, “There can be no room for complacency when it comes to food safety.
While most food businesses follow high standards and are compliant with food safety legislation, we continue to encounter cases where consumers’ health is jeopardised through a lack of compliance.
“This is unacceptable and will be met with the full rigors of the law.”

No wonder he moved to Ireland, if it ever happened him again, sure he’d be grand!!
Must have been an inspirational figure for David Drumm and Sean Fitzpatrick.
He only lost 1 billion, they lost 35 and counting
Subsequent actions have shown that neither David Drumm or Seanie Fitz are half the man Nick Leeson is.
1 billion was probably more 20 years ago
£1 billion in 95. Today would be about £4 billion give or take a couple of hundred million ish.
But as someone earlier quoted its only numbers on a screen. Face it the likes of most of us here will never see anything like that type like type of cash.
How could you go into work, day after day with the figures spiralling up like that?! Imagine the stress!
It puts today’s PowerPoint into perspective! :D
Sounds like father Ted when Ted and Dougal started to hammer the car to get the dent out of it
Nick proved what David Icke said in 1990 – there’s no such thing as money anymore, only numbers on a screen. Those numbers only matter to those of us beneath the pile because, without them, we can’t live. For the powers that be they are just likes chips in a casino.
So Icke once said something that wasn’t totally batshit insane. Duly noted. Wonder was this before or after his turquoise phase?
Ah will ye stop. Youll be telling me next ray d’arcy went back to rte.
He did wrong and did the time for it and has turned his life around. Fair play to him.
Too much greed and not enough fear.
those bankers are all sociopaths who are unable to feel remorse .. that’s why they’re able to do what they do
It’s only money
He’s gonna be the next minister for finance .
What an amazing story. They should make a movie about it!
Forget Barings.
He brought down Galway Utd….
-He was a young guy who happened to be a financial wizard.
-there is no ethics or morality in banking.
- put a young financial wizard in charge of front and back office banking activities in a culture of no morality or ethics and with probability…this will happen regularly.
- he deserved his jail sentence but so does the whole banking system.
Ah come on, he looks like a tool, this should have been picked up on during the interview…..
I lived in Singapore for a number of years and he’s still a legend of sorts there. Everyone has a “story” about him….how they once played football with him,how he once donated $1000 to some charity they were collecting for etc. There’s even a cocktail named in his honour at the bar he used to drink in (Harrys bar on Boat quay) called “The Bank Breaker”.
